New boy - Chassis Issues on an '86 90

Just thought I'd run the Defender down for a pre-MOT check - seems like most of the rear chassis & rear cross member have decided to turn to dust.

Man at the garage suggested that I source a new cross member with extensions (as long as possible were his words) - and to get a galvanised one at the same time.

Any ideas please - where I can get a decently made item (galvanised or not) that will fit? All the threads seem to run to dead ends, or the supplier has stopped making them.

Help!

richards chassis

Recently Bought a chassis for a 90 on Ebay and there seemed to be alot of good condition Rear cross members its all about the luck on ebay I found good luck !

Richards Chassis - do do galvanised chassis, but not a 1/4 rear - which is what I need (apparently)

Any other ideas?

Mibcomponents near Leamington ... hand made and superb quality ... got one on mine.

PM pressbrake on here he has had some good reviews on his crossmembers

Thanks for all the help - contacted MIB & Pressbrake (strangely enough, via eBay) - both responded positively, so will get one ordered next week.

Just been to see Pressbrake - aka Clive - I arrived with the "worst chassis he's ever seen" - fourteen hours later, with many interuptions from others, I have a FANTASTIC new cross member & completely re-made chassis (slightly further forward than the shock mounts).

Chassis is box welded in 4mm steel, the vrear X member in "C" shaped 6mm steel.

New spring mounts (top & bottom) along with other loose bits sorted. Loom was "soldered & heat shrunk" - it has to be cut as it travels through the chassis.

I cannot recommend Clive enough - well worth the drive to & from Essex, his skill as an engineer along with work attitude is fantastic - all the equipment on-site - he just did the job.

Absolutely brilliant - Clive, thanks again.
