My rear 110 crossmember that holds the A frame gave up the ghost at the weekend, both sides completely rotted away and the whole lot dropped down and was clattering about on the rear prop shaft

Any kind bod tell me if this crossmember is changable/available to buy ???????

I have a mint Range Rover chassis could I chop that one out and re-use on my 110 ???

I'm quite a good welder but it looks a right bastid to get at and weld, that's if I can find somthing to weld to!! Rest of the chassis not too bad but would love to change it for a galvanised one but just not got the time at the moment.

Thanks in advance Jason

Not aware that you can buy, as usually once that cross member has gone so has the rest

Don't know if one of the firms that makes replacement chassis could supply - not been able to find a part number

Cheers Matey ! Strange as it's the worst rotten bit (rear x member already been changed) on the whole chassis !

Thought as much Looks like I might have to weld somthing up short term as even if I do go for a new chassis there's no way I want to pay £390 + vat delivery to France

Exhaust,rear-prop, A-frame all off with out any problems.

Cross member not attached to chassis anymore but I can get the bastid off

How easy it it to get the rear floor out for better access ??

Either drill the weld out (5mm bit) or grind the lot off. I replaced my floor and used 6mm bolts to fasten the new one down.
