Rear Cross Member Replacement what sort of cost?
My Cross member at the rear is showing signs of needing replacement... But I have no idea what would be a reasonable cost to get it done... can others enlighten me?

Is there anything I should get done at the same time?

Any point in a galvanised cross member (if such a thing exists) on a standard chassis (that is in good condition but is 19 years old)?

I cannot help you with the cost of replacement other than the cost to purchase.

I did one for a friend, and went for a galvanized cross member. We got the basic cross member, without any extensions and had to fabricate some brackets. In the end, you cannot tell that the cross member was replaced, with exact copy of the original welds. But this was a case where the chassis legs were rust free up to the crossmember. Going this way also meant that the tub had to come off.

Need to clean off the galvanizing around the weld areas first. But the rest is protected for a very long time.

This is what we got:

Mine cost me £600 all in at the local indie last year on the 130.

A lot of places didn't want to do it and were quoting £1000 upwards.
