Pardon my ignorance, but could you please tell me more about where the "rear third member bracket hooks to the frame" is located, and what is a "rear third member"?
Many thanks!

Scott,
Maybe you can post a couple of pics to show what's going on.
Thanks.

Shows how well I check my writing.
It is the bracket that holds the back of the differential to the frame. It is bolted to the back with two bolts then goes up on top of the frame. I have a temporary bolt in there now and hopefully changing it tomorrow. I will take some pics of the bracket. The one that was in there didn't have a long enough shoulder to go all the way through the bracket. It snapped right at the end of the threads. The new bolt has a longer shoulder to go all the way through then i can put a washer and a distorted thread lock nut on it.
Doug, do you need any other pics while I have the car up in the air?

How about the whole underside of the car. You know, like the under-carriage cam that they have at Barrett-Jackson.

This is the bracket he is referring to if I understand him correctly.
By his discreption, the bolt that broke is the one that went through the rubber isolater bushing.
Generally it's a bad engineering design that puts the threads of a bolt in shear. Seems this is one of the issues with Superformance cars.
