Rear body crossmember

(1/3) > >>

DaveS:
Anybody fitted one? I have just spent all weekend doing it, finally got it in , ****** tailgate won't shut. It appears to be too low and too far in.

It looks like my only option is to cut the welded hinge brackets off and pack them out.
As far as I can see I have got the x-member in right, it's as far back as it will go and mounts lined up and tight.

Is it just the Britpart x-member?  I am really p****d off , as my aching back and cut hands will testify.

If I can't sort it I'm afraid its scrap it time as I am not prepared to spend much more time on it!

clbarclay:
Did mine the other month and it ended up slightly too high, a removal tweeking of the trim allowed it to fit just low enough, but the body work allignment isn't perefect, as if it was before :lol:

If every thing else fits and its all welded then making some new brakets (you only need 4 bits of plate with a hole drilled in each) would probably be my choice.

DaveS:
Thanks Chris, it's onl tacked at the moment so I will grind them off and try liberal adjustment on the body mounts and with the big mallet! Failing that I will cut off the brackets and pack them out.

Range Rover Blues:
It's pretty poor that the hinges aren't adjustable.  When the car was built they would have had a jig to get the hinges in the correct place (or thereabouts :roll: ) so I'd suggest using a large peice of hardboard as a template.  Glad I read this before deciding to do mine.

jjsaul:
when we welded mine back on it was 1.5 inches too high

just chopped off the hinges and re welded them
