LJ Auto Crossmember

Fellas, whats the go with these crossmembers with the larger holes where it bolts on to chassis, they are much larger than the actual bolt itself

Rae spares dont stock any rubber insulators for LJ's and the bloke i spoke to said hes had several people ask about them, including himself.

Only thing i could think of was to tack a large thick washer to the crossmember and bolt it up, was a little worried thre might be some slack play and it might give way

I cant be the only one who has encountered this, what have some of you blokes done?

Looks identical to a LH LX UC crossmember, try these - http://www.rarespare...x?product=H1128

This is a parts illustration for the LH/LX/UC trimatic transmission rear support which is very similar to the 1973 LJ support member and associated components.  Note the tube spacers/crush tubes (#3) that fit through the centre of the rubber insulators.

The cross member that was on my LJ had a rubber damper on each other nd with a big wash r over the top

LC. 1972 LJ Trimatic same as LC.

Yea they look the same...when speaking with the rare spares guy, he has the same crossmember as i do, and i mentioned them rubber insulators, but his only reply was they dont make them for LJ...that lead me to believe they might not fit... i dunno...you would think someone working there would have at least tried them ha.

Be the Guinea Pig, make them fit.
 

Ha I guess the real part of the question is, if i used a large washer a spring washer and bolted it up would it do the job

would be a bit dodgy

Old topic i know, but does anyone stock these, these days?

Just make your own.

I machined 8 bushes for mine from poly which works fine. They are isolation rubbers.
