Hi All

Has anybody come up will a neat replacement for the rear cross member other than the £126 patent one. only mines on it's way out with the floor and I don't want to spend that much. Also one of the body mounts is close to collapsing so I could do with ideas soon so I can do it before my new bumper goes on .I have never seen the back end without the bumper so I have no idea what to expect when it does come off:D

Hello Lee,

I remade mine out of what was lying around, mainly a bit of box section steel, I also remade the body mounts out of a piece of L angle with some sides welded on and a hole drilled through the top on the drill press.

It can be done cheaply but it does stand out as being a bit heath robinson, however I know it's really strong as I reversed into the telegraph pole at the end of my drive and the box section took the whole impact (no bumber on at the time) and there wasn't a mark on it!  8-[

Hi
I know £125 is a lot of dosh but it will save you a lot of hassle. The rear cross member is fairly straight forward job to replace. I am all for making your own stuff but sometimes its better to buy the bits required.
