Improve/restore my ZT-T bit by bit or just take it all on?

Very true Jeff, but the cross-tube is the piece that is most often affected by the rot-bug at its ends because of the poor design (re drainage), as you know, and it is an usual shape to boot!

If a ready fabricated solution were available, that would be a big step forward, I think. Mine is still perfectly OK after 350k kms., but I check it every time it goes up on the ramp, and I would put a cross-tube piece into the garage-stock if it were available, to join all the other "just in case" difficult and unique V8 parts, bushes, hoses, HEVAC, steering, ECU etc. etc. 'Olive' is a keeper, and will probably out-survive me that way!

That's true but it is only that, a tube that's bent and welded into place, for any fabrication company that wouldn't be too difficult. I had Dom's company do mine but after looking at my rusty one it's not that difficult. With luck Petes one wont need welding etc
