unmarkedf6 Member 50 Member For: 12y 4m Gender: Female Location: The locker room, toweling down Posted 04/06/16 12:04 AM Share Posted 04/06/16 12:04 AM I'm at the near end of my build and only thing stopping me is putting my sump over my girdled bottom end. It's a spool girdle, do any mods have to be made to fit it? I'm starting to get frustrated with it, the main studs arnt touching the bottom it's something else...

But frustrated with this sump Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92028-crank-girdle-fitment/#findComment-1593731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
