    how would yall mount the crossmember?

    bushing & tabs like: http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/...ing-p-154.html

    plate the ends of the cross member, and run bolts horizontally through frame rails

    or built a bracket above/below cross member and run bolts vertically through the ends of the cross member?

    thinking of building it out of 1.5"x3"x3/16"

    or?

    there are a bunch of old school chassis design books in evans, and the ones I read state this is the way to go.
    45* will prob. work, but there are some calculations like an intersecting line at the cog.

    This is what I wanted to do to the sunbeam, but space constraints made me do it the way you first posted. The engine mounts are done similar.

    dont know how i would accomplish that? this is the mount i plan on using. which way would still be best to attach the cross member to the frame?



    then there is this way. but i dont like the way it mounts(read too much on breakage) and lack of full protection. seems like the case would still suffer from a shock.

    I would think a hard mount (bolt directly to the frame). Two sets of bushings would let it move too much, no?

    depends on the angle. lots of side to side movement allowed with that red bracket thing he posted.

    first one is cheaper and easier to make, and you end up with more room.

    Work smarter, not harder. Which ever one is easier to remove from the vehicle.

    if you dont have anything to sleeve the frame with the first one will not be as good. the second can be done with all flat plate if you added a flange to the side of the crossmember you wouldnt need sleeves for the crossmember tube eaither.
