The design of the Morris Minors was pretty advance for it's day and used stressed panels instead of the 'ladder' frame of contemporary cars. This created a lighter and stronger car, but when the rust gets serious that strength goes away and we need to replace these panels to be safe. The crossmember supports the upper cowl and the toeboard. The front shocks also bolt to this to support the front suspension! If in doubt, replace it!
Although this part is no longer being produced, we have one only that has some VERY minor surface rust!
