Has anyone successfully used the USCartool A500 Crossmember?
Well, yes I do have some more pic, but I was kinda waiting till I do another test fit and see how everything fits. I did have to do some substantial trimming to the crossmember, and will be cutting the torsion bar crossmember farther out and making a new bolt hole.
I will show you one thing I had to do, well maybe not necessary, but it was bugging me so I wanted to fix it.
As you can see in the pictures, the UScartool crossmember was not straight. I cut out one of their welds, clamped a big steel bar to the side to straighten it out, and then rewelded it. Much better now. Before the fix it would fit up onto the car, but you kinda had to bang it into place with your hand. Now it slides right up into place very easily. First two pics show how it was bent, mostly at one end. Other two pics show my fix. The other end is off a little too, but not nearly as bad as the other end so i'm going to leave that alone.
In the last pic the crossmember is turned the other way, so its the closest end to you that I fixed.
