    Anyone with a 69/70 with a rear spoiler willing to measure something?

    I am toying with using the rear spoiler wing off a 69/70 on my 71’

    I have heard that the wing risers are taller on the 69/70, and that the distance between them is different.  Anyone able to get me some rough measurements (+/- 1/4”)?

    I want to know what the distance from center to center of the wing risers, and the height of the risers (deck lid to the bottom of the wing).

    Thanks for your time,
    Peter

    The 71 spoiler is wider overall, as well

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Interesting.  That means I would need a width measurement too from tip to tip. 

    What I am running into is that the 71-73 rear spoilers were designed for the fastback / Mach 1 body.  The coupe has a flat deck lid and the wing does not fit all that well.  I am considering doing a bit of a mix and match between the two years, possibly getting a fiberglass one from California pony cars and chopping it up a bit. 

    I’m really curious what the pedestal height difference is.

    I should be able to scale the height difference based off that pic.  Thanks!
