Bryan,
I'll have Paul get back to you when he gets back from Miller Motorsports. He's there for the NASA event with the CTSV we've been working with. He'll be back on Tuesday. Here is a pic of a mock up we did. Frame is out of and 86 but the lower a-arm is an 88. From what I heard him say, I think we are a go on the 85-87 cars.

Dan

Will do.

We didn't have an 87 style arm here at he time. I got one in when we were at Carlisle 2 weeks ago. When he gets back, we'll install it and see what we have but it should be the same t-bar on the bottom. I know it's hard to tell from the pic but this is the upper mount we use. Also the fronts are inverted. I also included the rear lower mount that Gary from Hardbar designed and we made.

Front Upper Mount


Rear Mount


Full Kit w/out the Inverted Fronts
