The cover from a T-Bird/Cougar (with an IRS) has mounting holes cast into the back of the cover (in the middle) for the support bracket,and if you remove them,it'll leave a hole in the back of the cover,and if you leave the rear end support intact,the swaybar will hit it.

I read that this morning.Fila got a cover for me and is going to send it to me asap so i can finsh the rear for my car.I'm going to install the T-Bird axles and brakes in it (The Stang rear) so I can get it into my car quick.There were no Explorers when I went to the yard.Otherwise I would've snagged one.

P.S.,thanks again Fila.
