    Ok, Sorry it took so long but if anyones interested my friend says he can make copies of the custom T-5 crossmember that is currently on my Maverick. It is very strong and fits well. His name is Dominic and his number is 559-349-4634.

    Sorry no pics right now. I will be loneing him my Maverick so he can take it off and build a copy of it. Mine doesnt look as good as the next ones will because mine was the prototype that had to be modified a few times to get it right. He was going to make me a nice one when he makes the others. As soon as one is done I will take some pics and post them. I will leave him my car this week so he can start on it. If you have any questions call him. 559-349-4634. I am pretty happy with mine. And it is definitly alott stronger than the C-4 mount.

    Price is $130 for tranny mount and dash braket for cable mount.
    $110 for mount onely.

    On the cable set up we had to modify it twice to get it right. My Mav has full length headders and the cable melted to the shroud. It also was binding in other places. I had a friend work on it and he got the cable further from the headder and lubed inside the shroud. Check the angle of the cable where it attaches to the pedal itself, we found that it was installed too high and the cable was sawing through the cable shroud. We had to drill a new mounting hole lower on the pedal arm to mount the braket more in line with the hole in the fire wall. This stopped it from further damaging itself. The pedal effort now is comparable to my old 5.0 mustangs stock feel. I will switch to the hydrolic set up I found on the internet. It's made for T-5s and their bell housing and costs $350. Autoworks racing.com sells them.Sorry about how slow things are on the T-5 crossmember but he's been busy and hasnt been able to come get the car. Please call him. He will arrange shipping and payment. I am just relaying messages and trying to help. I will forward any questions but it is sometimes a few days between times when I get on the computer so it would be more easy to call him.

    I'll go ask him. He has since quit working for the Mustang Ranch. His number is 559-790-4774. He could probably tell you what he wants for one. I am pretty happy with mine.

    Sorry to resurrect a old post but has anyone ordered a T-5 crossmember from him since this was posted? And if so how much. Thanks.
