MJB1 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 looking a bit tall & short for a 6 cyl sean so i'd go with the 698T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 the 699 would be a bit longer in front then mate, been a long time since i saw them all togehter now, the height may be down to the fact that nothings fixed in place yet so may be sat on something in wrong place if you know what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
