RE: Ordering and installing OEM cross member?

The build date on my GT is 04/07/07 and looks just like the picture also. Glad they went ahead and added this and didn't wait for the 08's to start putting them in.

So it's a K member brace? Just buy the Che k member brace, which looks a lot stronger IMO. It's a heck of a lot cheaper.

Mine was built on 03/2007 and I have the little black brace. Thing that kills me - and I know car MFG like to gouge but it looks like a $29 piece.

WORST PART IS THE LAST BOLT SNAPPED

I've just found out from a reliable source that the nuts should be tightened to 48Nm or 35ft/lbs. Grrrrrrrr

Returned the part to the dealer. They are ordering anotherand swapping under warranty. Whoopee!

Buckshot, you really ought to ask the dealer to give it to you for free. My 2007 came with it on. It is a 3/07 build, but still, tell him Ford forgot to put on a part.

Is this just a coupe issue? My 07 vert has this already and it was built in 06.
