I need a measurement. Im going to be setting the strut towers in the very near future and would like to get the spacing correct.

I just need the distance of the strut tower bolts. There is 3 on each tower, The single bolt would be fine since the others are slotted.

Much appreciated!

I tried, but C/C plates means mine doesn't match yours anymore.

I have three of them I can measure after work. Every one is on jack stands though...might make a difference.

Thanks Fellas. Up on jack stands shouldn't matter since they are attaches to the inner fenderwells.

I went to pick a part last night and there were no fox bodys, just sn95s.

Looks to be 37 1/2. i just seen this again so i went out and measured. carb location on the i6 made it slightly annoying so if a second person wants to verify it go ahead!

Here's a shot of how I measured:

Hook it over the top of the single bolt on the passenger side and read the close (inboard) side of the single bolt on the driver side

Here are the results:

39 5/16". This is on an '89 Convertible.

38 3/16" This is on an '85 Convertible.

Yeah i couldnt slant the tape. Mine was straight across from the d/s rear bolt to a straight edge off the front bolt on p/s. Thats why i figured a second opinion would help
