30-31 Roadster SUB RAIL Crossmember Question

[Roadster62]

I'm fitting Brookville sub rail crossmembers to my original side rails. I have original front (under seat) and the third one back for patterns. What does the second one look like were it is riveted to the side rails? The original rivet holes are further apart than on the third, some photos of an original would be a great help. Thanks. Bob

all i have for ya right now . I can get better pictures tomorrow if this isnt good enough!

Thanks Flop! I went through all your photos of that Roadster body save and couldn't find a shot of what I need. It is the underside of the crossmember in the above photo I need a view of. Brookville sells crossmembers that are longer than needed and you have to cut, fit, and bend the ends to match Henry's originals. I want to bend mine to match the originals and need a photo for referance. Thanks again! Bob

so you want the second crossmember or the third?

[Roadster62]

Second, the one at the door jamb. I've got the wide front one cut to fit and the third ready to have the rivet holes drilled. Thanks again. Bob

here ya go buddy ! its an angled break that fits into the subrail

Thanks Flop, that is what I call the front crossmember, the one behind it is the one I had the question on. Found these original bits and I have to fab new ones, they are the missing links, and will allow me to rivet everything into one assembly. Progress! Thanks again! Bob
