Hi all
Hope you beating along in the crazy ass world.
I’m looking fir a rear inner engine bay cross member, I cannot find a retiker that has one.
Any help or info be great.
The pics can hopefully show everyone what I’m after.

Thanks guys

Nothing special about it. You could have a local sheetmetal fabrication shop bend one up for you using yours as a template.

Yes I do agree however it is bowed & curved to fit the rear panel on.
I have contemplated doing that.

Most units end up in the salvage yard due to frontal impacts or T-Boned in the side.

Being hit in the rear is a lesser cause, based upon this you should be able to access a rear clip.

Out of curiosity, what year van is that? I notice it has the ears for the diesel engine carrier bars and at the same time, I think I see a mechanical fuel pump on the engine.

A good complete clip from a donor would yield a good result vs trying to split that panel off a clip. A WTB add would be a good start.
