Yes Orrie, that is my original thought, and I think a crossmember needs to be put back in somehow. Ogre just has a way of making things sound easy to do! ; ) Afterall, he is a genius!
I was wanting to use the original piece that I cut out, modify it, make tabs of some sorts and bolt it back in. This idea may work if the tranny winds up like yours did, but you didn't cut yours. If the original cut out piece doesn't work, then I can use rectagular pipe to make something. So, that sounds like a plan! In the picture below, behind the original crossmember before I cut it, was the tranny crossmember that I was going to use, now I'm using a different crossmember. Maybe I can use this one some how~ otherwise it's scrap metal.
