TS50 rear on AU II XR6

[Raphael081990]

So ive been looking around these forums using the search function and i havent really found what im looking for.

What im after is a TS50 rear bar for my AU series 2 XR6, ive located none as i live in Adelaide and i found one for $540 its fiberglass if anyone knows a better price to get one brand new in adelaide plz let me know. Thats not painted or fitted either. But back to my main question is there any modding needed to fit it to the back of my car, i have a tow bar in the centre so a small cutout i guess will be needed. Anything else in terms of mounting it ?? or is it go straight on using the current rear bars mount holes and bolts ?

Someone may be able to correct me but if i remember correctly the T's had 2 extra mounting points on the rear bar. I am sure i read that on here somewhere ages ago. Having said that i don't think an aftermarket/fiberglass one would have this issue.

Should just bolt straight up mate, if you want the compelte look, should find ur self set of ts50 skirts and a xr50 front end,

i had the ts50 rear bar on my sedan and bolted up no problems, but the dramas getting it all aligned up etc, in the end i got over it and got rid of it

lot of work..will never look as good as a genuine
maybe try to get a rebel rear bar..genuine second hand between $300-$500..actually look great and suit the Xr's because they came out with them on

[Raphael081990]

Yeah i plan to get some skirts etc for it but my rear bar atm got hit by mate >_< the other week so he's paying for the respray and work to fix the current one. So i planned on putting that money toward the painting etc of a new rear bar instead because the Ts50 ones look mad as.

The price i got between 540ish - 600 is that reasonable tho, i found a few in NSW and Vic but id have to get them delivered here anyway and would cost easy 100 to do so because of its size. Anyone know of any body kit places in adelaide in case i could find a better price for one ?


Hmm ill look into that rebel bar aswell, if its cheaper then im all for it

Thanks for your help so far aswell.

Just had a look at the Rebel rear bar thats looks rather nice actually similar as the Ts rear bar but least as u said Chazza they came out with that on the XRs. Ill get a price on that bar from the same one i was gonna get the TS50 bar from should be cheap as there not as rare as the Ts are.

[frd906]

you would be very lucky to find a genuine t rear bar, they are rare as, unless u find some one wrecking one

I enquired from ford ages ago about a genuine ts50 front, they wanted something like 2 grand for one

[Raphael081990]

Yeah ive steered off the T style bars now, just been looking into the full kits, and im not to keen on fiber ones either, id rather get Genuine ones if i can. Im looking more into the Rebel kits now i rather like the design its not to over the top aswell.

Is anyone able to steer me in the right direction as to where i could get Rebel rear bars if not the full kit. I live in Adelaide as well.

Cheers
