Mk2 Transit Front Cross Member

Postby trannygal » Wed Jul 18, 2012 2:21 pm

Hi,
New to this forum, hello all.
I'm after a new front cross member for my 1986 Transit Motorhome built on Mk2 chassis but am having no luck so far in the UK. Have found someone in Germany who can supply but would rather purchase in the UK. If supplier can't courier, prepared to travel. Any ideas pls - she's too good to scrap! Cheers,
Trannygal.

Thanks for the responses, had one made and installed eventually (cost me over £700 for the pleasure). Passed the MOT so at least she's back on the road but have just noticed rot in the passenger footwell and the horn has failed..!

Wow that's a big price difference - sadly Muttley is further away than I would have wanted to take an MOT-less van but with the glowing reports I've seen of his work I'll certainly bear him in mind for the future :)
