Does anyone know what the stock crossmember weighs? Does anyone make a lightweight replacement? Looks to me like it is excessively heavy and robust.

FG,

I think Fatman Fabrications makes a bolt in Mustang II crossmember.

I just weighed one on the bathroom scale (wife is at work). I got 65 pounds. It does not have the control arms attached.

Not as heavy as I thought!

I thought it would be pushing 100 pounds, but when I picked it up I started to have my doubts.
