We are in the process of converting my KE30 from auto to manual. I have searched extensively and have 99% of the parts but am stuck on the cross member.

 

I have a '78 KE30 with the trimatic which has the different gearbox crossmember and mounting points. The manual crossmember I have doesn't match up with any holes on the car.

 

I understand I have to make my own or weld the 2 crossmembers together.

 

What is the best way to do this? Does anyone have any images or pointers to help me out.

 

Thanks!

Thanks for that nice and simple - looks good. I am also looking at getting one made up. Will post what I come up with when its done.

Thats really neat Andy.

Just finnished a reshell, and had the same problem.

The crossmember hasn't broken, So I think it works OK
