    T5 crossmember question......

    I intalled the tranny mount.  But the tublar crossmember that I have will not line up with the holes on the frame and the mount????? I have 66 fastback.  Will the square frame crossmember work better? I got this as a freee part, so I am not sold on this member.  I will post pics when I get a chance.  But I can say that the tranny is sitting towards the rear more than the holes on the car.

    Below is the pic of the crossmember and tranny mount.  The tranny mount bolts are about an inch towards the rear of the car.  I dont think this crossmember will work unless someone else has an idea of what I'm doing wrong.

    Nevermind!!!! I feel like an idiot!!! After surfing pics of the cross member installed correctly....I found that I have mine in backwards....thats why it wont fit.  I just turned it around and it fits.....Sorry!!!
