Technical F1 crossmember in model A

Is anyone running a 4852 F1 trans crossmember in a model A? If so could I get a couple of pics showing it installed?

thanks,

jim

 

It's modified to Fit but this is what you are looking for in a model A-V8.

Couple pictures I took of one being installed. Master cylinder/pedals moved over one one hole on top and the top lip modified to accept inside mount bolt. It is not in the final position in the last picture

 

Nothing close up, sorry.
This is an A frame that will be getting a 23 T body and turtleneck
This is a parts pile build and everything is really still in mock up, but I think we are pretty close to making everything fit.
Chappy

 

There are a lot of HAMB cars with this setup and a variety of approaches. There is even a guy on here that sells a fabricated F1 style crossmember specifically for AV8 builds.

Here is how I went at mine: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/modified-lakester-build-thundercasket.751582/page-12





Incidentally, Old Yankee Speed Shop and Millworks Hot Rod up here now make a full AV8 kit that bypasses the need for the F1 Crossmember as I recall that is worth a look too.

 

Do you by any chance know who sells the f1 crossmember?

 

thanks!

 

Check out my buddy’s YouTube page for installing a Old Yankee/Millworks AV8 kit. Look up “Rhode Alliance Customs” on YouTube.

 

@MFJL



this one?

 

Yeah its that one.

Unfortunately Old Yankee Speed Shop only had the front engine mounts on their website right now.

 

I stand corrected, last night they werent on, but they are now!

 

Cool kit!

 

Good info here. The setup is simple and works and usually isn't real expensive unless you are buying from a parts harvester.
The bad part is that most of the guys who do ohv V8 automatic swaps with firewall mounted master cylinders torch the crossmember out rather than cutting the rivets and taking it out as a complete unit. Then they toss the crossmember and pedals in the scrap bin.

 

luckily 90% of my parts will be used and bought with haggling. I'm 23 with a newborn, so this wont be a showrod. Just a rusty crust 28 Sedan that I can give to my son one day!!

 

That’s the one! It’s not listed on their website, but give them a call. I believe they are in stock

 

I used a F1 crossmember in my latest roadster build. They are a very functional install. I opted to design and install a couple of rear braces/ legs that virtually converted it into a K member. I makes the setup very solid and gives it a little better look IMHO. Sorry for the blatant solicitation but if anyone is interested in a pair, feel free to message me, I have more laser cut from time to time.

 

Holy Shit Batman

 

Lots of great ref photos in the link...
