View Full Version : Williams or Valver subframe
Williams is stronger as it has a 3rd skin, but valver is lighter
With a lower strut brace hopefully the lack of a 3rd skin shouldn't affect the valver subframe too much
Opinions?

I dont really think a williams tripple skin has much benefit over a valver one tbh, but im just a noob really.
Valver ...im a weight whore at heart
Williams, cos if you're gonna have extra weight anywhere, right at the bottom is where you want it.

Yeah but do i want/need the extra weight
feck all difference imo.
williams one is the better option if u can get one, otherwise use a valver one.
ohh and get it stich welded! :twisted:
Way ahead of you buddy
My williams one was stich welded......makes it GRP A spec.....but i've since discovered it was slightly bent

Looks just like the 19 one apart from the front cradle.
You can't see in those pictures, but it has an extra skin welded onto the bottom

Are you sure the welding didnt make it slightly distort?
I would just go for a standard williams subframe.
na it shouldnt if done properly.
obviously u need to do the welding spot on.
its something im gonna do at some point (prob later next year), but will stich weld the chassis, turrets and shell as well.
lol at the not subframe education % :lol:
Dont' need ot do anything spot on lol, all you are doing is spots of weld, i did specify about an inch of weld and then miss an inch, but he diecided to do it that way
Adam, will onyl distort if it gets really hot, its that big it won't effect it
what another skin welded on top of the skin thats already there?
stitch welded 16v would be best bet.
