    Default RA23/28 xmember

    Just wish to confirm that RA23/28 crossmembers are the same as RA40.

    1. There's no point arguing with an idiot. They'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience
    2. Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference

    Thanks for that Rod. I am about to start on the R&P conversion and wanted to make the appropriate modifications to the KE70 xmember prior to pulling my car apart. If I have the RA23 xmember it allows me to modify the width and get the engine mount brackets in place and thus shorten the time the car is off the road.

    Cheers Craig

    Stew,

    My 28 has Darrens Second round of 1G powered RA40 goodness. He pulled out the 3S and went back to a 1G but then sold the whole project (to me) before it was finished.
