Landrover defender rear crossmember renewal

[@alancrossley4461]

Just what I needed to see. Great job but can you please tell me how much time you needed to complete the work? I understand that you can’t be precise and different cars could need more time, but an overview would be helpful. Great video with no nonsense and just the right factual information. Thank you 🙏

Nice job that. Only two things l would do different are drill a hole further forward in the original chassis to pull the loom through so it's not in the welding area. And, cut a "C" shape out of each side plate on the new section so the new crossmember doesn't have a straight butt welded end and is therefore less prone to stress cracks and stronger for towing.

Thanks mate, yea I always weld them in slowly so as not to melt harness, this guy didn't have a tow bar or socket going on so it just got welded as I did here, your right if it was mi e for towing I'd beef it up a bit more 👍

Nice job but I would, and have done, drilled some holes in the sides of the new legs and plug welded them. Just in case they want to do a bit of towing in the future.👍

Hi mick that's a great idea mate, you know what I will do that 👌
