Fairplay made a jig to do the job properly, bolts an nice bit of welding. Better than what's on it original. Tidy job buddy 🤝🏻

Thanks Chris😁

Nice. 👌🏻. With the state of our roads, I would have welded washers over the TCA holes to stop elongation, but you know what you’re doing. 👍🏼

[@MarkEdwards]

That’s a good idea, but don’t worry, by the time it hits the roads, they’ll all be fixed 😁

did I understand this right, you made that up from scratch??

[@MarkEdwards]

No, I. Replaced the base plate and a strengthening gusset. I show a bit of it in an old video.

I suspect that the second one is from a 2.0l capri as thay look very similar but the capri one is wider

No,it’s an RS escort crossmember, was just a bit wonky 👍🏻
