There was no crossmember under my old three speed. I do have two rear crossmembers but they bolt at the original 1960 mount position and are about 15" from the rear of the Bell. The T5 rear mount is about 17".


Question for you Captain: The 1/2 bell I have has threads on the mounting flanges.If I go that route do I just thread a bolt from the bottom of the crossmember into the bell? Thanks in advance
