Rear X Member replacement
« on: October 29, 2006, 14:38:02 »
Afternoon guys and gals. Been a while and I think I am back in the land of the rover having spent summer repairing my dinghy. Bored with that now so back onto LR's.

OK job to do, replace rear x-Member. Got it already but I want to avoid having to remove the entire rear tub. Has anyone replaced the said piece by cutting a couple of holes on the floor and welding that way. If so would really appreciate some advice.

BTW it is a Tomb Raider 110 limited edition :) Not really its an old F reg 90.

If you did it in 3 hours id hate to see the state of the job,ive never seen a neat job take less than 7 hours including cutting & joining the loom
