C1 front crossmember specs

[Jerry W.]

Does anyone have a dimensional drawing of a C1 crossmember that can be used to check mounting and usage fitness. Thanks in advance.

Jerry, do you mean dimensions like a body shop would use to check to see if frame is straight or ?? Gary....

Gary....Thanks for responding....I'm looking for any key info or checks to determine is my crossmember is usuable or not or can be adjusted accordingly.. The car suffered historical damage to the left front frame horn and our frame guy has replaced the horn with a new repro to frame specification.....frame is now "perfect"

The crossmember shows NO visable damage from the historic frame damage but our frame guy thinks it may be twisted or "racked".

It cleaned up nicely....see pic.

Jerry,
I have a copy of frame dimensions for a solid axle car that one of our members used when he had to repair his 56. Send me your email and I'll scan it and send it to you

Pat...Thanks for the frame dimensional offer but i have the same dimensional and the frame itself is finished. What i was looking for is something to check the cross member as an independant assembly.

Wishfull thinking.....I know.....Thanks anyhow.

Pat...Thanks for ringing my bell...I just rechecked the drawing that I have and it just might work.

Jerry, here's a copy for a '61. That '58 drawing looks like one I posted previously. Gary....
