You can put spacers on a MagneRide equipped Mustang. The studs are longer as they use the GT350 type hubs so you need to cut more off the OE studs if you're using bolt on spacers but it can be done (we've done a couple already).

Ok, that’s good to know thank you, David. I had read about the incompatibility but there was no detail as to why. Assumed it was more in depth than just stud length.

What widths did you use front and rear, with standard arches?

23mm all round. There is a lot of stud to cut back so not easy to reverse (unless you buy new studs).

So confusing this stud thing, I've been assured by several specialists including Steeda and CJ Pony that 25mm spacers all round fit fine without the need to cut down the studs although they say that 25mm front and 23mm rear is ideal. I cant see what difference 2mm on a spacer can actually make. I do think the Bullitt needs spacers though as the wheels are so far in the arch.
Someone also told me from the US that the Bullitt wheels have recesses in the back to allow more stud too but not sure whether this is the case.

The 25mm I tried fitted fine for stud lengths, but less of a space might cause the original stud ends to contact the back of the wheels, (without the cutouts you wouldn't be able to fit them at all)

Looked a bit too extreme for me, so going cheap if you want to try them. Lol

So far really pleased with my Bullitt, had to have a weird dent taken out of the bonnet, looked like it had been propped up by something through the support hole?
She drives like a dream, almost run in but so smooth it's getting harder to keep the revs down now.
Having listened to comments about wheel spacers I bought myself a set of 25mm hub centics from CJ Pony, but tried one and decided it was a bit extreme for me, so just the sequential rear indicators from standard,
Glad I upgraded from my 16 plate GT, without a doubt, so many improvements, from headlamps, gearbox, power delivery, clutch, Recaro seats etc.
How do the sequential lights work, just two of them or all three? Standard UK colour tail lights?

Yes standard UK colours, they are adjustable, brake over indicator, indicator over brake, or standard. They flash across a bit fast but presumably they have to get there within the beat of the original lights.

Any chance you could post a video on here of how they look working?

I think Ford need to sort out their customer info, but the car is well worth the wait, can't fault mine, and such an improvement on the previous model. Great "first" car, you're gonna love it, just hang in there!

There are people still waiting for their MY18 Bullitts that may still be waiting in 2020! wink

Seems odd that there will even be a MY20 Bullitt. Ford tend to make them for every 10 year anniversary of the film, starting in 1998 for 30 years, then 2008 and of course 2018.

This may be the proverbial unicorn, I suspect.
