Quote from: "StuC"It might be worth seeing if its possible to create a structure with some standard section alu bars/tubes. It's something I have given some thought to before.
Perhaps i need a convo with Steve@D1 for a next project.

I've been talking about this with a fabricator mate of mine and we think it should be possible to make a welded tubular subframe
The question tho would be wether there would be any weights gains/advantages compared to the cost to manufature

What's wrong with the one on the right?  s;-) ;-) s;-)

btw, like the point being made by the large pile of rusty flakes!!

Is the bracing the difference between a FL and a PFL? <Goes outside to check Banana.>

EDIT: I have a small brace, but it is just to mount the undertray to and is a flatish section. The one in Scott's picture looks like it has a 90 degree bend.

The " bracing arms" include fixing points for the undertrays, so maybe no trays on the Bee 6.

My triple post now trimmed to size, bit like your new crossmember.
Looks like progress is in progress.

Just to add, the reason it would get through the MOT is the same reason mine does, despite having a rotten subframe.
If you have the nappy on, you could get an advisory.

Bizarrely, mine never had an advisory until the year before last which said;
QuoteUnder-trays fitted obscuring some underside components
Engine covers fitted obscuring some components in the engine bay
luggage compartment cover obscuring some items
This year, nothing, except to note that the handbrake had little travel (which is kind of normal I believe)

No nappies on the V6 mate.
Not anywhere to fix them on that subframe.
Also the chassis has extensive corrosion which was clear to see if you could get the car on a ramp.

Most certainly not.
Also there is no cat on the car so it cant pass emissions.
No idea how it got an MOT last July.

Very friendly.
Callous too.
If it had the correct advisories on it i would have never bought it.

So she is all fixed up now.
Just some AD08R to get fitted in PFL sizes for the time being.
Sort insurance too.
Pick her up Saturday all being well.
