Just as an aside, there are 2 different ones, they changed around '92.
So if the first one doesn't work, don't give up!

Cool thanks for that Hayden, and Carlton as far as the 2 types I found that out yesterday, newer one a couple of hundred bucks more expensive :roll: I have had a quick look at the one on Dad's 89 GQ and the mounting hole spacing looks pretty similar.

The main reason I was thinking of doing this was for strength, does anyone know if the GQ boxes are much stronger (if at all) or am i wasting my time and should just stick to a recoed MK/Q box?

Thanks
