This is my new tube crossmember i have been making for a while now.
I started with a piece of cardboard cut it out ,scanned it into my signwriting program, tidied it up, printed one out then checked it out on the back of the transfer. Then got it lasercut out of 10mm plate, bent a bit of 1" pipe, welded old nissen shock eyes on the ends. My toy has a 2" bodylift so i set the plate up 2" to get everything up out of the way. Just have to make a bash plate for the bottom and thats it, cant wait to get the dual transfer now!

I have several holes 1" apart in the brakets i made t weld on the frame, so i can run it back standard if i run into any problems with shafts etc.
Have only just put this in so haven't had a chance to put it on the ramp to check. Daily driving is the same no vib's so far!

When i installed Tony's 22r i fabricated new engine mounts which lifted the motor probably an inch, It all sits pretty level.
Had thought about making some, but my welding's ok but not spot on, will have to see. That the only photo i have.

BJ,
Runs ok, had it dyno tuned the other day ( was retarded a bit ) HAULS ASS now, Smokes a 35" centepede ok Gotta stop doin that , spose thats the drag racing side coming out in me. Haven't had a chance to break to much yet but i can understand with a bit more power it would be pretty easy. If i went wheelin with you guy's it would break more sh!t for sure. Not much hard stuff up this way. Must be cause i'm an old dude who has to drive his pos to work on monday! : :wink: :wink: :wink:

It would be possible but you would need to modify the mounts to suit as the Transfer Caliper bracket would also mount to the same bolts as the crossmember so then it would not be in line with the disk due to the crossmember creating a spacer.
This would of course only be if you made the bracket to suit a standard case without the crossmember first.

I will be mounting a transfer brake after easter, My brother had a new Honda NSR 150 that he wrecked :( , said i could have the complete front & rear brake assembly's. Will have to look into it a bit more on pirate.

do u find u get any vibrations using these mounts ?? i have got a buds4x4 job and am wondering wot 2 use as the mounts so as i dont get heaps of vibs ??
Mine mounts a different way to bubs. Have no vibes with the magna engine mounts but i had a lot with the first bushes i tried. The old ones never had much rubber in them & were fairly hard. Just get some soft rubber bushes
I have another pic of a crossmember i was going to originaly make, it shows the rubber bushes ( just rotated 90 deg. )
Hope it gives you an idea on how to mount it!
