Transmission Crossmember - Part 2

So, new on the left, old on the right...

Saddles 01

Saddles 02

The material is some scrap 125 PFC (parallel flange channel), pretty much perfect for my application!

The only downside is the PFC has very thick flanges (7.5 mm thick in this case). The nice part is that the web is 4.7 mm thick which is gold...

























Welding to the chassis rail will be a bit interesting. I'll grind a bevel weld prep into the flange and do some test welds first to get the current setting right.
