All In The Family
All of the mounting brackets on the KTRE F-body housings are new (no used parts are used anywhere on this housing). There are some subtle differences in bracket installation between this housing and a stock late-model piece. KTRE goes to the trouble to fully weld the brackets, which isn’t the case with the factory arrangement. As a side note, we checked the dimensions between this sample housing and a stock late-model Camaro housing. Aside from the width (which we specified as narrower than stock), the locations for all brackets are exactly the same as the GM hardware. This means the piece will physically bolt into a late-model car with zero modifications. You’ll also note KTRE even includes tabs for brake lines and provisions for a rear axle vent. Street car applications are available with special stabilizer bar brackets, which allow you to reinstall the factory bar on the larger 3-inch axle tube (although in this application, we used brackets to fit).
