Hi. First Landy purchase. Can anyone advise the name or pt number of this cross member and how difficult it is to replace. Having difficulty locating it on the parts suppliers websites. Thanks

NRC4171... Assuming its the same as my '85 110. I think you have to seperate body and chassis to fit it. I was replacing the rear half chassis so could get it out, otherwise it's a body off job. I've heard rumour you can cut it in half to fit then weld it up in situ but never tried it.

Steve - That's looks like it alright. I see Bearmach do one. Just need to find out now the difficulty of the job - there's bound to be a youtube vid somewhere. I don't like the idea of cutting a new section and welding insitu - maybe patch for now and review next year as its only holed on one side on an easily accessible bit.
 
Hi Phil,
I wonder if you can drill the rivets out of the triangular body panel under the C post (5 minute job) would removing that panel give you enough access to slide the crossmember out? Otherwise it is trapped by the A frame chassis crossmember. Unfortunately I can't take a look at my Landie till the weekend.

I believe not.
There are 2 piece crossmembers available or at least there used to be, that were designed to be welded together in situ.
 
Spoke to someone at YRM today as getting a few repair sections of them for the bulkhead. From what I understand they do a 3 part galvanised crossmember but the guy mentioned removing part of the tub. As new to Landrovers I,m still a little unclear to work involved to do this job or the guys explanation. If it’s just a case of cutting out the old section and jacking up the body a few mm to fit the YRM 3 section parts I,d have a go but if it’s ends up a strip out job of floor panels inside at the rear I would get a little concerned - I already have to replace some bulkhead sections and have the dash and front floor pans stripped out at the moment and I need it back on the road soon. Anyone any knowledge or thoughts of fitting the YRM galvanised 3 pt. crossmember before I decide to patch or replace?
 
That'll just be the two triangular pieces pop rivited to the tub sides in front of the rear wheels maybe?
