I need a few for some projects. Anyone have some?

Rear crossmembers are not hard to make if you have one for a pattern.

Trace the sides on .020 styrene sheet, above.

Cut them out and tack them to a strip of .040 at the right width, as a fixture, below.

Skin the top with a strip of .020 bent to approximate shape with your fingers, and let it set up hard, below.

Trim the excess, then carefully remove the crossmember from the fixture, below.

Glue it to the chassis in the correct position, below.
