You can do without removing the tub although is a bit of a pig of a job especially if bolts corroded. You have to remove anti roll bar and tank guard and then should be able to manoeuvre the tank out. The tank guard has fixing nuts in the rear cross member and also to chassis legs from memory. It is easier if you have access from above and often people cut out an access panel to the fuel pump so you can disconnect loom and lines more easily.

I have dropped my tank recently. It's very tight and awkward but it slides forward towards the axle then half way down before you can remove the pipes and plugs

Thirty one years old so it’s not done badly.
And l bet it’s worked hard for many of those years as well. An ordinary van would have been scrapped twenty years ago. |

Well done, I didn’t think anyone else replaces the cross member the proper way without resorting to “crossmember with extensions” bodgery
I had a supply of the triangular closing plates in one of your photos from the manufacturer at one point as these are unavailable to purchase separately. |

Did a crossmember replacement for a friend. Decided to take the tub off, as the top was coming off anyway to attend to the cappings. With the tub off, access is much better. He had purchased KVB000290G from Paddock, that comes without legs.
Indeed, I could not find the top webs between the cross member and the chassis rails, so those were made inhouse from a 2mm sheet. templates were taken to copy the folds and holes locations. Similarly, there are 2 trapezoidal plates at the bottom just between the chassis rails and the crossmember. These are welded in flat and then the edges hammered around the chassis before completing the weld. Measurements for the crossmember location were taken relative to the tub support bracket and A frame crossmember. If i had to do it again (hope not as it is a pig of a job) i would do as much welding as possible with the fuel tank cradle in place and fully tightened, as after i finished, I found that the cradle holes did not align perfectly with the holes next to the roll bar brackets. Holes at crossmember however aligned perfectly. Not sure if the welding distorted a bit the rails, or the sanblasting and galvanizing of the cradle warped the cradle. End result was very satisfying though. Not possible to detect that the crossmember was ever replaced as all factory welds were re done. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing 2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black |
