How did you get the width eye to eye nailed perfect? That's the beauty of the telescoping crossmember right?It isn't tooling to make parts. It is just patience. I have a drill press, a small bench belt sander for deburring parts that I cut with a grinder. That's about the extent of it except for a good chop saw.
This is the hypothetical brought to fruition, all done with a cut off disc in a grinder, a drill press, and a few bits.
Shortened 32RH mount so the OEM trans mount can be used.

Cross member is formed from 4 pieces of 1/8" flat bar. 3" wide for the top and bottom and then the angled sides were cut from two more pieces. Corner butt welded and then sanded to look a bit better since I suck at long welds. I made it the shape of the belly skid I will be using. View attachment 210062
Angled ends because Aaron thinks I can't do it that way.

Trusting what I know, 1/8" thick tabs on the frame. View attachment 210066
Access holes for the socket to remove the nuts on the studs.

I need to get a side by side of a stock mount and the shortened one.
