There are some Galv' 90 chassis' for sale on ebay:

184457797007

but they are advertised as a NAS chassis' which will take a 200tdi engine.... but as far as I knew NAS' 90's were V8s so they had different engine mounts to the TDi engines and NAS chassis' had a different rear cross member and tow bar arrangement to the ones we had here, and these chassis don't seem to have that NAS rear cross member either...................... so what are they? Can anyone here identify what chassis' they are just from the photos?... would be grateful to know what they are.
 
Probably you don’t live in GB.

Top chassis looks like it is the original one that has been galved, you can see the weld run along the top where the two c sections have been welded into one box section, the lower one is a replacement one possibly Richards as it is made from 4 plates.
 
Wow. I knew you fellas would be able to identify it.

ive noticed a crack appearing around my rear crossmember on my 92' 200tdi 90. I could get away with just welding a new rear crossmember on, but theres a part of me that just says "fit and forget" a whole new chassis.

These just looked a bit more affordable than most, but I had no idea what model they were for.

If you cut the x member off yours I bet the inside of the chassis is not a pretty sight.
 
Thats exactly what I think, if i bothered to look i bet id find more rot further along the chassis anyway. I know I spotted a hole in a front spring bracket when I was changing a brake hose earlier this year, so that wont be the last of it....
 
Is the lower chassis in the first photo a 200tdi chassis or is it too hard to tell? It looks like it has a different rear cross member to the one thats on top of it.
