Re: Front cross member fracture help
ModelADrew,
Replacing the front cross member is a big deal.
We did it on a members frame on a table where we had access to all sides of the frame. One member designed an offset anvil so the rivets can be bucked hot. There are rivets on all sides of the "C" channel and we found that not all the holes lined up and some had to be welded up and re-drilled. I would really try to have it welded with doublers added where they won't interfere with anything that needs to go back in.
Think it through before you make a decision.
