my trans cooler is located in the rear of the car. I am in the process of routeing my cooler lines to the trans. I had to find a way to get past the transmission cross member. I decided to go thru it. Here is what i did.
first had to split a chunk of 1" schedule 40 pipe down the middle then splice in a section of 1" wide plate. This is what i ended up with.
Then i had to cut the hole in the cross member. What a ***** that was.
Then i took my time and fitted the insert. here is is mocked up.
here it is welded in. The whole insert is 1/8" thick so it should be even stronger then before. welds still need some dressing.
