Hi guys, I'm on the scrounge again. Sent my series 1 gearbox crossmember away for a repair and powdercoating and they lost it. They are happy to pay the bill for it's replacement but I still need to find one. I could get one fabricated but I'd rather procure the correct part.

If you have one spare that you want to part with to a loving and pampering home under my rebuilt shell, could you contact me please via this thread or PM me.

Cheers all.

No-one got a spare they wish to part with?

Anyone know of a S1 in a junk yard that they could rip on out of?

I didn't want to reply yet, because the one I have isn't out of the parts car yet. And I don't know that I'll have time to get it out for a few weeks yet - other weekend projects are in my way. All that said, if you can wait a few weeks, I will have one available.

Arne, no worries, I can wait. Just don't like the thought of having a fabricated part under my car when the rest is stock. It just wouldn't be right.

OK, shoot me a PM with your eddress and I'll put it on the list. Got to cut the roof off the parts car this weekend, and hopefully put the red car back together next weekend. Shortly after that though, I plan to pull the gearbox out of the parts car, and at that point I'll (obviously) have the crossmember available.

I sent a quick reply at lunch today that didn't get recorded.

240znz, did you get my PM??

I have seen 3 different ones used on the Z's

Heh Dave,

The first one is out what you US guys call a Series 1.

I've never seen the middle one but it looks like a variant of the Series 1 version with extra rubber bushes to quieten things down a bit, or maybe they are there to prolong the life of the large rubber mount that goes above it.

The last one is what is on my 73.

The correct one for my use is the first one.

I have received a cross member from Mat M. It's off to the powdercoaters (a different one) tomorrow.

Thanks all for you help.

James
