12A/13B cross member difference

I'm swapping a GSLSE 13B into my GSL. I took a few pictures to show the 10mm difference in the cross members.

Right side of the car.
12A left, 13B right


12A right, 13B left

Left GSLSE, right 12A.

You can get away with slotting the mounting plate instead of switching out the cross member.

Swapping the cross member is a better solution tho.
