Honestly it was so badly rusted that it’s difficult to tell, if it was homemade then it was done by someone who knows how to fabricate though. I certainly wouldn’t classify it as a crossmember though, it’s made out of 1.5 inch box section, I would guess it was more of a floor support. I’ll hunt around for some photos and see if anyone can supply me with any of what the underfloor of a DC should look like!

The seatbelt mounts were attached to the C post where the floors and the Post met, again they didn’t look standard and they were only angle section cut to length. Although they also used the same bolts as the ‘crossmember’ that I’m trying to identify used.

Possibly sounds like they have converted to a DC but didn't get all the parts needed so knocked them up.

I have a 2003 Double Cab, the mid crossmember fits into the brackets circled in red, the blue ones are not used.

So that mid crossember, it's the same as the pics above ie- same as the SW?

Yes, I replaced my rusty one with the galvanised one from YRM.

@Where’s_That?
Looks like my educated guess was correct and yours is bodged up somewhat.
Ref your seatbelts, I also strongly suspect that the SW set up is the same as DC too.

Once my camera batteries are charged I will photo the seat belt section for @Where’s_That?

Apologies gents, I’ve been away with work so haven’t been on here or touched the landy in a few weeks!
You’re both absolute god sends, a considerable order has gone in with YRM and hopefully I should get it all sorted over the festive period!
I really appreciate the help, I’m slowly getting to grips with it all and even beginning to consider doing the bulkhead myself!!

the technical drawings will help immensely so thank you, are they from an owners manual or a specialist one? It looks to be a useful investment.

They are from the genuine parts catalogue that frog hopper posted a picture of on page 1.
Cost is around £60.
