Question for the 1st gen Amigo owners still running the stock tranny crossmember... do you have these spacer plates?




Here is the spacer plate not installed versus installed:







I've never thought a thing about them being there until today. I noticed the crossmember on my parts P'up does not have them because I went to harvest a crossmember bolt from the P'up and it was shorter than the bolt from my 'Migo. They do kind of look home-made in that they do not follow the curve of the crossmember, which results in overhang:






I don't know why someone would add these on their own <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Everything tucks up/fits just fine on the truck without them being there. I also don't know why Isuzu would put them on the Amigos and not the P'up. If they aren't OEM, I'll likely leave them out upon reassembly. They haven't caused a problem in the 11 years I've owned they truck, though.
