I know I need to add a spacer to my mustang K member but does it go on the mounting point toward the front of the car or the rear of the car
front and 3/8" thick
you may also need to change the rear pad's bolt spacing. i did on mine. the tbird was narrower(bolts closer together) than the mustang k-member, jus the bolt spacin on each pad, not the frame rail width.
Forgive my ignorance, but why is a 3/8" spacer required?
you'll have a gap up front when you bolt up the rear bolts. its just weird like that.
a fox is a fox is a fox, unless its a thunderbird :hick:
Yeah that's what I am slowly learning.
I don't know much about this swap, is the Mustang K member lighter?, if so, how much? Any other advantages?
They are talking about aftermarket Mustang K-members. None are made specifically for the TBirds, so you have to modify Mustang ones.
Yeah, was wondering if '87-'93 Mustang fit as these K members are ten lbs lighter, (w improved anti dive) than other Mustang K members..so if Tbird K member is heavier than Mustang K member, could be cheap upgrade that is only 18lbs heavier than most after market K members
I haven't checked directly with Griggs or Maximum yet. I have a feeling that theirs maybe Tbird design as they do list them seperately.
MM has a few Tbird-specific parts.
I was also thinking in 2 months i should have my car paid off anyone installed a UPR yet and if you did what extra parts where needed?
