Have you seen this difference in 62? Cross Members

[jensenracing77]

I just found this difference between my two 62 jetfires. This is the cross member for both cars. I am wondering if this is a mid year change or a 4 speed verses automatic thing? Has anyone seen this before?

The rusty one is our 4 speed car built 4th week of June and the nicer looking one is our automatic car built 5th week of May.

Hi Eric,
There were at least 3 different styles of cross members to hold the trans back to the frame. Early and late manual and auto.

Any problems using the hydro cross-member in the 4-speed conversion?

Luck is at the intersection of planning and opportunity.
