Guys,
Got my 3A down to the frame for some minor repairs before the blast shop gets it, and have a question regarding the insert for the rear crossmember. Both are Classic Enterprises stuff. The crossmember is a no brainer, with all of the rivet holes lining up, but the insert is another story. None of the holes match the crossmember, and the bottom looks like it may need a bit of trimming to fit between the bottom of the frame rails. I called and asked, and was told that it may need to be slightly modified to fit and that it isn't meant to sit inside the rails, just between them. Seeing as mine had a c-channel bumper and these parts were missing, I have nothing to compare it to. So, is the insert riveted to the crossmember, bolted or what? I'd also like to fab the plate between the drawbar and crossmember, and would like to know if it was riveted or welded. If anyone would have some pictures of how these items are assembled,
I'd appreciate it greatly.
John
