I've never seen exact specs on this, but there must be a frame measurements spec page somewhere.
Ideas anyone?

FRAME WORK

Are you thinking about cutting the old rear crossmember off and using specs to weld the new one on?? I just cut the old one off - used the tub as my jig (bolted in at the front) and lined up the rear bolt holes - bolted them in and tack welded the rear crossmember to the frame. Pulled the tub off and finished off the welding. I wouldn't trust specs to install the cross member.

When I did the welding on my 109 i used the measurements from the GREEN BIBLE at the back there are all the measurements for 88in. and 109. for everything. We welded new rear outriggers and a 2nd drivers side fuel tank outrigger. and all worked out okay, from the diagrams. i am sure i can scan them if you need them. all the best. rick.m

Good Day
I had the rear x-member replaced on a 109 5 door chassis at my neighbourhood body shop. The tub was not available to the shop for measurements so they made a jig from plywood while the existing rear x-member was still in place. They secured it to the frame with clamps, cut-off the old steel then lined-up the new piece to the wooden jig.
When I went to put the body back on later everything fit and lined-up well.
This might be a good option if the existing crossmember is still attached! If I was to do it again I would consider tack welding a steel jig in place as an alternative to wood.
Hope things work-out for you.

Hi Tim
I hear you now, I assumed that there were remnants of the original crossmember still there.
Have you considered making a template or jig using the body tub as your guide for the template then applying it to the frame?
If the specs are your only option, here are a couple of numbers (based on the info in my green bible for a series 3 88)
the rear (outside) edge of the rear crossmember should be 713,2mm (28.08 in.) from the centreline of the rear axle (you could use the mid-point of the rubber axle bump stop as the centre line). The overall measurement from the very front of the chassis horns to the rear edge of the rear crossmember is 3420mm (134.6 in)
If you want, I can send you a scanned copy of the specs and diagram from my green bible.
Hope it all works for you.
