Title: CROSSMEMBER THINGY ??? Post by: Blown_FC on December 02, 2003, 03:44:53 AM Guys, I need to replace my cross member support thingys, that are under the bottom of the 'B' Pillars...i think they provide support for the B Pillar, and are only smallish in size....
They are welded to the inner sill and the floor pan sits on top of them also.... Mine are cactus, and was wandering if anyone had some good ones or can tell me where to find new ones ?? Thanks Guys Mark Title: Re: CROSSMEMBER THINGY ??? Post by: Fast_Eddie on December 02, 2003, 01:28:55 PM Mark,
I think they are an integral part of the "side sill jacking system", and from the FE Owners Manual it mentions, "sedan only". Therefore, one could assume that as they didn't have them on wagons and commercials, (according to the book - too late and wet outside to check my van) you could "delete" them and not worry about it. On the other hand, I could be completely wrong, and your whole car may break in two when you drill out the spot welds...... Hope I've assisted! Regards Edward Title: Re: CROSSMEMBER THINGY ???
