Well you can't say "k-member brace" without specifying since they DO make two and four point versions.

And I said the four point one doesn't fit. :dunno: I wasn't comparing them either. Not sure what you're talking about.

Well I guess since to me the "real" ones are 4-point, then that's what I'm always refering to.  2-point ones help some, but nothing near what a 4-point would.

Basing from that, the Mustang ones do not fit the Tbirds/Cougars.

A 2-point one is easy to make.  A 4 requires more work and would be different between engines.  I know that even if the mounting points had been the same, one (4-point) for a 5.0 would not fit a 2.3.

Not if it's a 4-point that attaches to the rear K-member mounts...

Sorry Vinnie...this thread has split into STB's and K-member braces...I thought you were asking about the K-member braces.

Like I mentioned in my first post in this thread...the engine bays are the same between the two cars.  If it will fit a Fox Mustang w/ the same engine, it will fit a Fox Tbird....
