I have the ball bearings to raise the stud height, But I dont think he is going to ship them :( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94245-barra-build-in-the-us/page/4/#findComment-1667045 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that just the larger washers? I think postage is only 17 AUD to your place for such a small thing. If you want them posted I'll sort it out mate.

But just like a bike, got it back down after a min or two. Starting blocking in the fronts for the front end. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94245-barra-build-in-the-us/page/4/#findComment-1667118 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SelectivePC Member 79 Member For: 6y 7m 12d Posted 25/11/18 05:42 PM Author Share Posted 25/11/18 05:42 PM So the holiday weekend left me with lots of time to get some more prep work done. Surprised how much weight I was able to get out of it. But hopefully ill be in the 2800lb range once im done installing everything else. (cage and a BA barra) Wiki curb weights the car between 3200-3600lbs if it has a targa top, which mine does. But this is just motor, trans, front end tid bits removed. Sound deadener being removed. This is more like it. Now to keep it low. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94245-barra-build-in-the-us/page/4/#findComment-1667398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
