Greetings,
On my 73, I have a welded in 6 point roll bar. The rear 4 legs are welded to the frame on the kick-ups & near the shock mount. I have also boxed in the area where the differential X-member (sombrero) mounts/ bolts to. So with this, I am wondering if the welded X-member behind this is redundant. In the interest of weight loss, it appears that the X-member could be cut-off after the sombrero mounts and capped. Probably not much gained, but it would be zero cost. Thoughts?
