G'day Zdster,

I guess you could also refer to it as "sandwiching" between materials. We're referring to laminating or sandwiching the OEM metal cross member between new component parts.

Our brace attach's to the rear of the cross-member (as seen from the rear) via tubes and hardware using existing holes and the control arm inner locating point. We supply washers for the bolts that mount to the cross-member though the control arm pivot bolts and single brace design do most of the work.

The only aftermarket design that we found that actually laminated the OE sheet metal between 2 new pieces of metal does not use a single brace/mount assembly but rather 2x separate mounts.

Hope that clarifies it.

Best
Jim
