I bent my cross support last summer lifting my jeep with my floor jack and now want to replace it. I don't have cash right now, but I do work in a fab shop. Anyone have dimensions for the cross plate?
I can make it out of either UM plate (hard) steel or stainess in 1/4 or 3/16 inch plate. Any recommendations? It looks to me like a flat plate can just be spanned across the gap and punch the holes necessary for the tranny mounts.

edit:
I did make a tranny/t-case/muffler cover out of some 1/2 inch T6 - 6061 aluminum that goes across the front support and then extends back about 2 ft. I supported the back with a piece of 3 inch ss angle with the lip plasedoff so as not to extend past the aluminum plate. Does this sound like I would have troubles with it being a little to heavy?
