I have been working on the front cross-member this week.

Starting off with a single tube that joins the existing lower control arm mounts. This tube needed to drop down to a specific height and it was incredibly difficult to make but turned out perfect.



There will be a second tube coming from further back which picks up some existing chassis mounts. I made these sections for joining that tube to the chassis.





I then decided to fabricate my shock mounts as they are sharing the same space as the first cross tube and their position can't be moved.



They are just tacked in place for now. I will box them in a bit for added strength at a later date.



I decided to test fit the shocks too



Looks pretty cool with the inboard suspension

I've tacked the first cross tube in place too to make sure it doesn't move around whilst I'm making up the rest of the tubes.
