The cross member is bolted in position with four bolts on either side and two extra located on the bottom. I tag welded the replacement steel in place and testfitted the cross member to see if the holes lined up. Thankfully my measurements were correct and ould proceed with welding and bolting the thing back into position.

I spent some time today to sort out all the holes in the frame. Some are pretty crudely placed and are civil probably post-war, a few others I think are not factory, but maybe added later on by the army, maybe also postwar. The ones on the left seem to match up with side fuel tank mounts, while the holes on the right show a different layout.
I marked the holes that I think are not correct for my 1940 Cab 11 short box and want to weld them up. Is there anyone who can back this up, so I am not filling up holes I am not supposed to? I plan on measuring the hole size and location before welding anyway, but I rather not redrill the holes later on. I marked the holes that I think are not correct with some green wire.

Here's the holes in my frame. I don't know for sure if any of them are add-ons but there's less than in your frame.

Dave, Mike, thanks a million guys! Your pictures are a great help and confirm my suspicions.
@ Dave, from what I can see on your picture, all holes in your frame match "original" holes in my frame. @ Mike, Am I correct in assuming you used one of the "spare" holes in the right frame mamber to secure the tag? Alex

 Secondly Mike, I don't see the chassis number plate! Where is it. It's either out of shot or I have a detached retina again! Where did you select the chassis number from? T.

Number

I couldn't find a chassis number anywhere on the chassis , even during sandblasting it . The data plate on the engine cover was missing  I used a C8 chassis number , in the sequence of numbers for a early C8 . It's only club rego, who cares  . I must repaint the vehicle and get it back on the road ........ one day
