Why not cut the torsion bar crossmember off and have a new bolt on crossmember made up that will also support the new t\case


I'd thought of that with my Sport but I wasn't sure that was a good idea nor was the shop that did my SAS. That is a major frame structural member as well as the support for the torsion bars and there was some question of whether a bolt on cross member would offer the same support. We were fairly sure we could build a cross member that would handle the stress, but.... I get a little paranoid about hacking stuff like that out of my frame. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
