if you can do without the top mounting screws they mount up fine, if you did try to drill the bulkhead, you wouldn't have enough "meat" because of the hole in the bulkhead

maybe you should relocate one of the rear ball studs or is this a special "racer" trick?

I'm still torn between using RCPS or Tecnacraft's, the car is currently mocked up with tecna's on the right side, RCPS on the left--and the RCPS are a little longer than the tecna's--hence the difference in the ball stud location. Nice catch though :wink:

sounds like a perfect opportunity to fab your own rear tower with some extra meat for the 2 mounting holes........using the worlds tower as a template.

Slow_jun - these parts are no longer available, your only hope is to keep an eye open for some to pop up in the classifieds or Ebay.
