Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain outer (i.e. left and right) fabricated sections to repair the rear cross member on TD5 90? The center part of mine is quite solid, I could possibly try and fabricate replacement plates to weld on the outer sections but that would take far more time than if replacement plates are available, can't seem to find any on the net.
Alternately I might look to replace the crossmember with new one with short extensions as the chassis itself is in good nick. I tried to determine who produces a good replacement and see many varied reports on some as too flimsy, not well lined up requiring a lot of work to fit or typically commenting that the fixings that would be on an original crossmember weren't there, i.e. captive nuts that everything bolts to.
It seems that MIB Components near Warwick get high ratings but that was from some time ago and they don't seem to have a website, anyone know if there is still going or what a good alternative is?
