disco_al Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 My rear body crossmember is rusty - nothing unusual i hear you cry - what options are there? other than £140 on a new one, can i fabricate one from box section? i know it's profiled to fit over the chassis at the back end, and i've got no problems with shaping it to fit, then closing it back in after. otherwise it'll be try and salvage the one of my old disco (which is still quite solid) repair the body mounts (the only bit that has fell off it) and re use that one. thoughts and suggestions please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozsug Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Contact YRM they do part crossmembers if its not completely gone, if not i would bite the bullet and buy a replacement rather than fabricate one from box section. http://www.yrmlandrover.com/epages/BT3575.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT3575/Products/029 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igol Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Yep YRM. I did mine back in April and couldnt have been easier when it came to fitting the new YRM piece. You know its only going to get worse when you start cutting out the rot so save yourself the unnecessary work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
