Here is a side view of the Z Cars Mini front subframe and no Mr Manifold you can't have a stainless stell one 'cause it's to hard to bend!

Yes I saw that front subframe on ebay once. It was up for about 1k, along with another, made of titanium.........! This subframe normally doesnt carry an engine I think from memory but does look rather pornish non the less!

Hi,
It can be made to carry an engine, as he has done them for Vauxhall engines and A-series engines. See previous post!
I think that it's easier to make tubular frames rather than fabricating RHS frames. You just need frame notching equipment, which I haven't acquired as yet.

any chance of putting the pictures back up on this thread, it's a bit difficult to work out what you mean without the pictures saying a 1000 words.
