Thanks for the update man. I'll get my trunk measurements today and send them out to you.

Well people we've got 9 days left before the cut off date and I've only got 3 people who have paid with another person who indicated when he would pay. One person who has given me their measurements, one person may have to hold off for a bit or back out, and then we have 3 people who have not responded at all with their information. What's the hold up guys?

[Smokinjoe]

I emailed you with my measurements. 39 3/16

[TourEnvy]

Did you measure with the carpet removed? I also have 2000 and came up with a measurement of 39-3/16".


Mike maybe you can comment on strut tower spacing and the different numbers you have seen. This post has me a little concerned, even after triple checking I think I might do it again.

Is the range really this wide spread?

[Smokinjoe]

Hmm, yes I measured it with the trunk carpet removed. Thats a little wierd. It would be nice to know what the acceptable range in measurements would be from what you've seen. Either way, I would be able to gind the bar down if nessessary.

I'll start putting people's measurement's in the first post. However this is why I asked this time around for each person to supply me with their trunk measurements. Last time around it seemed as if there was a large range, which was not expected as I figured Ford would have been able to maintain a reasonably small tolerance on this. So I will be cutting the cross braces so that at the middle position of the adjustment it should be equal to your trunk spacing, which will provide you with the ability to make the assembly longer or shorter as necessary. The brackets will allow up to 1" of adjustment.

This sounds good. I didnt know there will be adjustments. I even checked again last night, and my size remains the same.

I checked mine again this morning. It appears I was a bit off. The new measurement I got was 39 3/16 inches. Same as Tourenvy's measurements. I'll send you another email.
