Rear cross member shot

Post by **Enthusiast** » Fri Sep 20, 2019 4:34 pm

Hi,
My V6 restoration has hit a road block my rear cross member is totally rusty.
Are there replacements available or would I have to make one?
Is it part of the rear panel and are they available anywhere?

I cannot see your image,

Do yo mean part number 12 or 14 in the diagram?

Thispage is taken from the Panels, Underbody section of the online parts catalogue.

It is a bit of pot luck.
Most parts are no longer available

But on the odd occasion there might be a panel lay in the corner of a dealership collecting dust.
If there is, try giving GPS (genuine parts search) a call with the part number.

GPS managed to get me a panel (14 in the diagram) from a dealership in Liverpool in 2016.

Otherwise, try a panel supplier, such as Carz2

I would suspect however that any "old" stock is probably long gone, so more than likely, you will need to fabricate this yourself.

An excerpt taken from my WIP thread.

Rear cross member delivered from a dealer in Liverpool.
It was a bit bent when it arrived just wrapped in an oversize plastic bag

The part number on the tag looks like 90269215

Looks like I am out of luck on this part.

I find it frustrating that they list a part, with a price....
And then say it is not available.

GPS do this a lot too.

I have finally sourced the part, from the USA believe it or not!

Be careful that it isn't the wrong "Cavalier".

Those crazy yanks have a "Cavalier" as late as 2008.
If it is correct, can you give a supplier's link?

Its the exact same part number!

Yep - looks like the correct part.

But as said,
Where did you get it from?,
Just in case any other members wish to get one.

I got it from Anthony Drosos who is on Facebook.
