Cross member Parts

[Tin Medic]

Does anyone carry the centering buttons for the front shackle end spring hanger? I need to replace the front cross member on a project CJ so I will need a replacement for the buttons also. Also, who carries the front cross member or does anyone here have one laying around that they dont need? Thanks.

Are not the "buttons" actually rivet heads?

They look like rivet heads but I havent found them yet.

Nor will you. The rivets are press in with tremendous force after the frame rails are stamped and the placed in a jig before final welding. Its not a replacement part.
I take it yours are rusted out and that section missing? Thus needing a front frame section as well. Very few people will have frame section like a front cross member lying around. It would have had to been cut out and separated. IF the front of your frame is that bad, how is the rear?

It's actually not the frame. An awesome PO hacked the front cross member to pieces and I need to replace that part.
