just wondering if anybody is chasing ca18 engine and gearbox crossmembers for the 1200s as i may be getting about 5 sets made, the crossmembers are the same as the maddat crossmembers but the engine sits about 1 cm lower. i will only be chasing about 380 for these if its not an exchange. which is a few hundred less than the maddat ones. the members will be proffessional done by the guys that do my manifolds. i will only be charging what the frieght company will charge me for shipping aswell.

Ill buy just the engine crossmember, how much ?

what would you say would be a fair price for ust the engine crossmember probly 250-300, i would have to find out from the welders what their going to charge me

mad dat told me $200 for the c/member... ill see what happens

I'm interseted...

When you get a price worked out and shipping to Melbourne figured out, let me know...

I was actually going to get one in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks mate!

i was tempted to make a few but was worrie there might be a copy right on maddats design .

looks very ezy to make the motor crossmember but the gearbox one looks a bit harder ,

interested....


what will the gearbox x-member suit?

as in will it use the manual tunnel mounts.... surely they will need to be cut out... so it just bolts through the floor? and for which gearbox?

maybe instead of doing them like that they could be done like pigdog did his l-series x-member? i think it is a hell of a lot neater

using the tops of the original x-member....

i also like the way he did his gearbox x-member, there is more pictures in his gallery of this and gearbox mount

so it just bolts through the floor

thats right

the gearbox crossmember is a universal design it can fit the r30, ca and gazzelle gear box same as maddats. the only difference is they use a piece of rigt angle bar for the exhaust to go past, we found that by using a piece of rounded metal works better as its stronger and you get more clearance

yeah as perthute said it bolts to the floor

this is before painting, we also found the quality of the welds are better



as for maddat saying 200 is that including the crossmember
