On the older foxes, I think it was 79 to 82, if I remember correctly that was a long time ago, you have to weld on new brackets to run the newer crossmember.

So should I get an older crossmember

Assuming you need a double hump crossmember, your only option is to relocate the crossmember mounts to accommodate the wider bushings or have a custom crossmember made.

Posted by Duncan Motors (Member # 7045) on
:
ur pm is full. 100 bucks if u pull the carpet back from the sides of the car so the heat of the welding does not damage or catch fire.

pull the bushings out of the new crossmember shorten the tubes then press the bushings back in modifing as necessary. cut the centers only on the bushings and shorten the sleve acordingly
