Default C2 Frame Spec
I have all the frame spec sheets provided in the service manual but I don't see a spec I need. Can someone get me a measurement for me please? Front upper control arm shaft mount surface side to side. Should be somewhere around 26" I think.

Thanks
Tom

Not sure if C3 is the same but the number for setting up a spreader bar is 26 3/8"

Cool. Thanks!
I measured a 66 and 26 3/8" is what I got. I was tying to back it up with more info.
