CSB question for manual swap

[fahr'n fahr'n fahr'n]

I have read (and now see) that the early and late models have different CSB sizes: Do later or earlier models have the wider CSB brace? Which belongs to which?

I called pelican parts and they informed me that BOTH sizes come up and that they were asked the same question recently by someone else doing the same job. They told me that the other customer ended up buying both. Does anyone know definitively?

Thanks

I dunno myself, but you find the answer on Realoem.

Actually, I found it late last night, here on r3v. The older cars (up to 87, i think) have the CSB with the wider bracket. They also have a few notches on the top of the arch where the other is smooth. (this is the older -87', wider one with the notches on top)


This is the newer one 87'-91' (shorter base with smooth, rounded top).
