Sorry for posting this here but i need one of these urgently as mine has been modded for the 4x4 box and i was going to put the engine/box in this week

 

When you do get one mate, can you post a pic of it next to a 2wd one, cos I'm going 2wd into a 4x4 shell too...........

 

Ok mate
The 2wd saff one is obviously ally and offset but the 3 door one is made of pressed steel and the bolts holes are even both sides!

 

Sounds like what I need!

 

 

spadge, if your tunnel has been converted to clear the transfer box the 3 door x member will mount where the bulge in the tunnel is.....you will prob need to make /weld a bracket to the shell...i had to do that when i converted a mk1 xr 4x4 to run 2wd cossie running gear HTH

 

The drivers side channel where the bolts come from is still there at the rearward end Kev and i believe that is where the cross member locates! Maybe on the one you had this was not the case as it had never been 2wd??

 

mmm cant remember exactly cos its 10 years ago but im sure a 3door x member will want to mount where your "bulge" has appeared

 

Kev here is a pic of a 3 door crossmember if you look at the left hand side where the bolts are for the crossmember you will see the remainder of the channel at the front! This is where my bulge is and not where the bolts are

 

oh right i just remember having to make a bracket...but on a factory 4x4 floorpan they must give more clearance.....plus its so long ago and i,m getting old

 

This is all I've got (4x4 saff shell)

 

Not going to argue with you there mate
Fortunatly my bulge stops just where that cross member starts so it was either planned that way when it was converted or i am just lucky

 

Rich it looks like you are going to have to do what Kev did on his xr4x4!

 

Don't say that!

 

I can't see any other way around it mate?
I have a 2wd shell out here if you want to come and rob anything from it with a grinder!
I can't even see where the 4x4 one bolted up on yours on the 1 side???

 

SOrry to be nabbing your post here mate.

Mine has some weird welded in group A mount bolt things going on:

 

No prob Rich
Have you a pic from directly underneath where the crossmember should go? as its hard to tell from those pics how they line-up at the moment??

 

Not at the mo mate......

Will get one tomorrow..............

 

Ok mate and i'll climb under this shel and get you a clear shot of what it should look like if it helps!

 

ive got one if it is what you need
thanks jc

 

Ok JC how much and how quick can you get it to me as i need it yesterday

 

I have a fair idea of what a 2wd one should look like, and I think mine looks like a 4x4 should.............just wondering how I combine the two - lol

Other post on the subject ages ago was:

Rich
Just looking at the pics in that other thread and from what i can see in pic 4 showing a 2wd ally crossmember it looks like a 3 door one will sort you out

thanksjc

 

I hope so too..............

Right - one MORE 3 door gearbox x-member needed

 

John you have a PM mate
