A few more pix
You can see the distortion and this is after I put in my press to get it straight enough to take the measurements.
Cheers, Ian

measurements
Having a small window I'll try and post the measurements.
These are off the original part, so not symmetrical. One wonders what they were doing in 1942!! Agree or not, these are from the cross member transposed to a new piece. Cheers, Ian

I had a visitor walk into my workshop today.
He used my ancient radial arm drill, and left it in a much cleaner condition than he found it......he is such a nice bloke.   DSCN0268 by john smith, on Flickr DSCN0269 by john smith, on Flickr

If you need some tips on how to hot rivet the replacement cross member in, ask aj.lec ( Andrew) he is a wizz on the riveting

Cold day but warm rewards
Been busy with a myriad of life items so progress has slowed a little.
My engine mounts arrived and some other parts,=. But we're in the crossmember so here goes. I spent a bit of time straightening the reinforcing plates in my press. A fair bit of work and about an hour each. The results speak for themselves.

Ron's Shop
Well I arrived around 10:00 and Ron showed me his 'small' drill press and the smaller version out of picture.
After a quick brief Ron leaped out to his Alvis not to be seen again for some time. I was left to my own devices and after drilling all of the pilot holes I set to task. The results are just brilliant and I had to check all my lines about five times in disbelief I was making a reproduction part for my truck that was exact. (error by manufacturer and all  ).It look great and thanks Ron for the use of the drill. More on riveting soon. Cheers, Ian

Trial Fit
Well at the end of a very cold week, I managed to trial fit the new piece.
Very happy so far, just wondering how much the chassis will spread when I take off the RHS welded to the top.
