I was thinking about what to do about the upper transmission crossmember modifications that are needed in an early A which needs to be wider and a bit taller than the stock area. Looking at the crossmember from an early A I parted out, I thought that if it were cut out between the mounting holes, then cut that in half right in the center and then added sufficient metal in the same contour as was original between the two halves to clear the transmission, it ought to work. With the width solved, the height could be adjusted as needed during assembly. Here is what it looks like, although I haven’t finished completely welding the new middle in to the sides.
