Gearbox crossmember

[mthede]

Has anyone put in a bolt-on crossmember under the transmission ?
Can I get a description of it ?

[Tim Smith]

It looks just like the welded on type only... it's bolted on. Are you looking to switch your welded one for a removable one or are you just trying to replace a lost one?

I would replace my welded on one with a bolt on one.

I'll see if I can't get a picture of one tomorrow morning then.

Couldn't you....


Cut the welds to remove yours, then modify it so that you can bolt it on, w/o having to purchase one that's basically the same thing?

I was thinking the same thing--You're gonna have to get the old one off anyhow! Might as well be a little...sugrical...about it and simply fashion a flange to reattach it.

Since mthede's frame was designed and fabricated by him, this may be why it is not so simple.

I would like to see pics of the frame (and the whole thing for that matter), if you would be so kind.

Right, pictures are on the phone now but I've brought the wrong cable. Can't transfer to my computer.
Won't be able to post until tonight.

I can get a picture of my 109 frame. and the crossmember. It is a bare frame right now.
I will shoot some tonight.

Whoa, ok, that'd make a bit of a difference, eh? lol.......

Right, and the pics I would like to see, are of mthede's frame-not just any old one.

Sorry if I wasn't completely clear there.

[Tim Smith]

Here are some pictures of the standard frame. Sorry, not the exotic imagery some of you are looking for.



The rest of the pics are here.

Thanks Tim,
I did not get a chance to snap mine the other night.
