Retro Z Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Mark, between me and you we probably buy half of all the rolling shells that come up for sale here in Vic. Quote
Brabham Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Add me and everyone else here to those on the lookout for a rust free crossmember if you end up cutting the other shell Tai I'll go next in line. Cheers Quote

Retro Z Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 if you end up cutting the other shell Tai I'll go next in line. Cheers No worries i will let you both know. Quote
Karljsw Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 Bumpity, since finding a straight rust free cross member is rather difficult and My Mum is starting to get annoyed at the lack of progress on the datsun. Does or could anyone give me some accurate measurements of the crossmember so i can get one fab'd up over here? I've got a 1m section of 60mm x 60mm x 4mm SBS that I was planning on using to make one up and i have a mate who works as a welder. I know the steel is slightly the wrong dimensions, but as far as im concerned its close enough (near as makes no difference 5mm to wide and 2mm too high) and the original being something close to 2mm thick another 2mm will add more strength.

Administrators gav240z Posted May 13, 2014 Administrators Posted May 13, 2014 You might want to be patient and hold out for Nato to finish his. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,12469.0.html I see you PM'd him about it, but I'd go new metal over old if possible . Quote
Scoota G Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Should be easy enough but may take me a week or so to get it done. Quote
