Overdrive crossmember 145

[kean]

Soon to embark on swapping M40 remote to M41 D-type and wondered if anyone here has a crossmember to suit?
Many Thanks in advance,
Kean

I have been keeping my eyes out for one for mine for a while now without luck. I am told that there is little required to modify the standard non-overdrive one to suit if you have welding facilities available to you?
This is going to have to be the route I take I think.
If anyone has a picture of the differences that would be a great help!
Good luck with your search and if you get offered 2 then please remember me!

Sadly not, they are quite a bit different on the 140 series. I too was unsure if a 120 series item would be suitable when I first got my overdrive box so I purchased one from a 123GT that was being broken and then found out how much narrower they actually are! Nice thought though, thanks.
