IFS Crossmember?
For those of you who have mustang ii suspension, what crossmember did you use? I see some sights recommend the crossmember that comes with the 48-52 kits and some recommend one from a 41-47 car.

Has anyone built their own crossmember? It seems like it could be very doable.

Anyone? I have been in contact with Speedway and a few others but they don't have a concrete answer.

Update:

The inside width of the 47 is 27.375" The 48-52 crossmember is 27.13"

So I will thicken up the frame whenever I box it in and use that.

Just FYI
