Hey all,
Could you fit a bob tail from a BA DJR 320 kit onto an AU?  I ask as I am thinking about using one with my XR50 kit. How much wider is the boot lid on the BA's to the AU's? cheers |

Definitely will have a problem with the AU curve vs. the BA flatness. On the other hand, I've often wondered if it'd fit an AU Fairlane with little hacking. I have always liked the Grange's little lip.

Im getting a series 1 bobtail fitted to my au2 in 2 weeks. They are shorter in length than the series 2. The only cover the boot, and dont overlap like the S2 version.

Are the T-Series bobtail spoiler any different from the ones off a Ford classic?

This has been done to death in another thread somewhere, but the series 2 Classic bobtail is different to the T series bobtail. Subtly so, but definitely different. There's comparison pics in the other thread. I know AWC sell the T series bobtail, since they took their mould off the genuine one that's on my car. 51RTE is right though, they only have 2 bolts, so the other 2 bolt holes from an XR spoiler will be evident if you're replacing one of those.
Oh, if anyone wants to buy my genuine bobtail, I'm selling it, complete with a Fairmont, for only $7500. ;) |
