<VV> [fastvair] front crossmember mounting [2 Attachments]

[Michael Kovacs]

I'd guess a PO had messed with the factory mount holes for reason known only to 
them. When I install a cross member, I usually go to to snuggle it into position 
easily and start with the back (short) bolts first and then the front one, the 
middle ones seem to just go into the nuts with no effort.

front bolt, both are sleeved so bolt tension does not crush rail, photo with

Heck, it looks just like any other front cross member to me. Three holes on each 
side. I can't fathom just what you see that I don't. Perhaps a better 
explanation or close up picture would help. 2 dr, 4 dr, conv are all the same. 
I've swapped so many over the past decades I don't even bother trying to see 
what car they were out of.

Four door, at least on the late model, is the same as the two door.
I count only three holes on the chassis side. Sorry no help. My cars are late 
models.

Can anyone tell me why there is two bolt holes on the frame rail for the front 
crossmember bolt and then two holes on the member for the second bolt? I changed 
a frame sector driver side, under floor and up to the third bolt bracket during 
my rotisserie restoration and now nothing works. I also did not mark the bolt 
position on removal. the frame sector may had been from a 4 door, is that an 
oops? 

Thanks
