    UCA Template - Shelby Drop

    Hey, boys and girls wondering if anyone has a UCA drop template I could borrow? Of course I'll be happy to pay shipping both ways

    Sorry I should explain myself. Upper control arm template. A fairly common upgrade to early Falcon and Mustang suspension is to lower the UCA to improve handling.

    If no one here has one, I'll buy one and then loan it out to who ever may want to do the same.
    Some good information here too

    There is a good right up on "Joes Falcon" about this. It looks like it would be a pretty straight forward job to make the tool. He has the dimensions there. Larry http://www.joesfalcon.com/page12.html

    Got it, just wanted to check the shop before I promised anything. I have it and bowed it up. It should go out in tomorrow's mail.
    I'll let you know if anything changes.

    Let's do this. If anyone else needs to use this kit speak up now. Bill if anyone speaks up just send it to them. I'll pm you my return address but if it needs to keep traveling that's fine with me.
