The front crossmember from any vintage 3A or 3B will be O.K. for interchange. The only difference will be if the 3A has radiator brackets or none. Do not use an early 2A crossmember because the steering bracket on them will not be right for your 3B. http://www.film.queensu.ca/CJ3B/Dating/DatingFrames.html |
