front crossmember
Could anyone suggest where I can get a good used front crossmember for my 66 coupe? I would have liked to use Clarks as I can trust them , but they dont have any. I have contacted Opus and Corvair ranch but would appreciate any help on this. I originally intended to repair my original but the deeoer I got into it the worse it got, spring housing is totaly shot, inside and shock tower is bad

Yeh , it just gets worse the more I dig into it, I think a replacement is the only way, I dont fancy trying to repair the spring seat, I can imagine all sorts of problems with strength, ride height, spring seating etc

Hey Mart....I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure you can find a beautiful used one from here in the states for a very reasonable price, but yeah I know....shipping's a killer. Rust never sleeps. Crossmember's that go crunch = not pretty.

The Corvair Ranch is a reputable place to get parts from. Great people.

Re: front crossmember
Hoping to hear back from Jeff to see if he can help, has anyone here tried marrying 2 good half's together? its the left, drivers side that is bad, not sure if this is good practice, but it might work and maybe halve my shipping costs

Re: front crossmember
Did you find a crossmember? I was visiting with a club member last weekend & saw a decent crossmember sitting on the floor...it's for sale.
