    what's screwed to the cross member?

    I spend most of the day under the newly acquired D2a removing the sump to check the oil pump bolt. It was pretty secure with a touch of loctite visible on two threads. It's now got a whole lot more...

    Anyway, when removing the cross member level with the rear of the front wheels, I noticed four holes in the middle of it: groups of two, offset and about 6 inches apart. What used to go in here? Can't find the relevant pic in the workshop manual.

    Unlike other things in life, not every hole needs something in it.

    I pulled mine off to remove the transmission on the weekend and wondered the same thing.
    I agree with the possibility of drain holes but they are in an unusual pattern - almost random.

    When I was preping race cars we used to start numbering as we removed stuff that wouldn't go back in.

    Yep, drain holes me thinks. After all, the rhs x member is bent up at each end! PS: check the mating faces of the X member for rust.
