having just had my rear cross member off I can appreciate just how much weight is saved with the WRC item.

Again, a very very nice find!!

Looks nice! Will it run in Sports Libre with the WRC cross member or Mod prod?
Look forward to seeing it at Harewood/3 slappers.

TYPERV6 - are you thinking of this one?
