cross member

[old yellow stud]

Well the old bronco is pretty much done. I got the tranny in. I can't get my old crossmember to go back in. Is there a trick to this or do I need to have a different one made? I still have some other little things to do. But I drove it a few minutes Monday to make sure all the gears and everything worked. I didn't want to drive it too much with nothing supporting the t-case. So now it is parked with a jack holding everything up. Anyone have any ideas how to get this back in there.

Thanks

Where is it not connecting properly?

The L brackets that connect to the inside frame rails needs to be like an upside down L and the cross brace rests on top of it. Some reverse the L brackets to lower the t-case (driveline angles) but the motor can touch the fire wall doing that.

How did you drive it around without a cross brace???
