Thanks for the positive comments

After I had email off someone I didn't even know demanding the drawings dxf files etc and telling me I was selfish if I didn't hand them over I said f u I'll start making them again , and think of your own thing to make!

You should have sent him some duff ones for a Trabant or something. Just imagine when he tried to fit it to his Landy

Did you get the pressbarake moved?

Sold it and my guillotine to a pal as new shop is too small for them and couldnt afford to hire a crane and artic to move them

but still use them

The chap who wanted dimensions wasnt to make one for himself he wanted to make and sell them and a hydro steer ram I have designed

My 1985 90 NA will need a new crossmember (at least) before it's next MOT in November. Is there such a thing as a standard price or is the job so variable according to the condition of the vehicle?

I do like to get things done properly and I've read nothing but praise for Pressbrakes work on this forum.

Being a bit of a novice in these matters I'm not sure how to assess whether the chassis is worth a quality repair or indeed whether the engine would survive a trip to Essex from West Sussex.

you just answered your question........the job so variable according to the condition of the vehicle?

How much prep work are you willing to do

Engine will be fine, if it blows up then you can fit a tdi

You could just pm me and I'd explain all and help with your concerns wherever you use me or not

Ordered mine last week, can't wait for it to arrive so I can get it fitted A big +1 for Clive being a great bloke to deal with, even when dealing with a clown that forgot to mention they had a tow bar fitted

Just picked up the Fender from the Welderizer, so this is my shiny noooooo crossmember

Booked in for M.O.T. Monday morning, they ain't going to find any faults with my Crossmember anymore

Cheers Clive

hi clive, i'm pretty sure you no longer make them, but the front bumper I had from you is awesome. I just used my land rover to knock down 125 feet brick wall between mine and next doors garden. I scratched the paint, but the bumper is awesome and undamaged.

Help yourself pal, I'll get you a better one if it stops raining if you want

Hi Clive, pressbrake,

I have seen on an old thread a rear crossmember for a 90 with a welded in rear winch tray you made, do you still do these and what would a rough price be, supply only.

Thanks in advance.

Michael.

micknkatenki · Oct 4, 2014

Hi Clive,

Thank you for your pm, just to make sure we are talking about the same thing hopefully please see pictures of a rear crossmember with winch tray you posted a while ago on another thread, this is what I'm thinking about for mine but without the NAS step. Please see the other 2 pictures of my crossmember, would it be possible to have rear crossmember with winch tray and keep my tow bar ?

Also when you say crossmember kit what do you actually mean ?

Again thanks in advance.

Third picture, sorry only way I could do it, might be me.

Yes that's the one it's best to pm questions rather than extending a thread
