In a never ending battle against just playing around, I am looking for a roof spoiler as sold by Mind Train and others years ago. In France as usual. Thanks, Dan

I have two of these in the box.
PM sent.
Thanks,

Ron,
I may be interested in 1. Can you measure the mounting bolt center distance? My car already has one that is sub-par due to very warped fiberglass. If yours are straight I’d be interested.

Speaking of roof spoilers ... there seems to be two distinctly different versions of the roof spoiler. MANY years ago, I bought one at Hall Pantera. It appeared to be the same as the one that Mind Train was selling. A friend of mine bought one from Wilkinson and it was different. It had a lower, flatter profile. Mine was about an inch or so higher across the deck lid opening. Wilkinson claimed the one my friend bought from him was OEM, from DeTomaso.
Has anyone else noticed this variation and how can you ensure you get the one you want?
I can get dimensions of the oem one on my GT5, I also have an aftermarket carbon one here in a box I could measure.
Are there two different height spoilers from the factory?
I have mine off now, original '73. Do you still want the bolt spacing?
Hi Ron, Thanks for the photos, where are you for shipping etc. ? They look fine.

In France.
From the pictures Ron's spoilers look to be taller than the version shown on the L car above.
Doug, Can you measure your bolt center and height of the opening at the center of the spoiler?
Ron, Can you do the same for comparison.
Joules, If you can do the same with your factory version then we would have a good sampling to compare.
The stud spacing on mine is 5-7/8" and they are 1/4"-20 NC SAE threads.
The opening distance from the top edge of the decklid to the bottom edge of the spoiler is 1-1/4". To the top edge of the spoiler at the same point is 1-1/2".
It is mounted as far forward as it can go and the outer edges taper to match the widening angle of the rear deck lid.
Mine is also painted black on the bottom .
