Here are a few places, rare spares don't seem to be supplying some of tyhe sections lately as I have found out. Ring them or message therm as they often have what you need but not listed.

If you are planning on doing mods you will find that sometimes these crossmembers are not long enough so it can be a good idea to work out what you want to do first and then buy them.  I just took a picture, these are typical of aftermarket size available and measures 44cm long which was about 8 cm short for my t700 application so they weren't used on my modified one but should be ok for standard.

Or just get a sheetmetal shop to fold some up.

Just a question, is there any reason, apart from liking a v6, that you are choosing this engine, when there are other choices without much more headaches due to it needing to be engineered anyway?
