Sorry to post this in here, but I figured I would get a better response than in the CRX forum. Move if necessary.

It's a 90 CRX Si with a D16, stock mounts.

With the crossmember bolts loosened about 1/4" the crossmember clears the header. With the bolts torqued, the crossmember barely touches the header. Not enough room to get a piece of paper between, but not close enough to leave a mark on the header.

Would notching the crossmember about 1/4" where needed be acceptable? 1/2" if needed?

I'd rather notch it. Have a welder so adding some reinforcement to its not a problem if that would be needed.

 

what header are you using? I don't see why its not clearing.

Only had to notch a little bit. Not enough to require welding bracing on.
