Glide X-Member

Looking to see if anybody knows where I can get a X member for a glide for one of our cars other than the spohn piece. Love his stuff, currently using his x member and torque arm set up but id like something not as beefy so i can get some ground clearance with true duals and some oval tubing. Just not enough room runnin his x member and going under neath it. Or lemme know if I gotta fab somethin up if nobody makes one. Yes i already know what im going to do with the torque arm so i dont need a provision on the x member. Thanks fellas

I bolted 2 pieces of angle iron onto where the factory mounts are. There's alternate holes for different transmissions already. Between the 2 pieces of angle iron I welded two 1" tubes under where the tranny mount sits then welded a plate between the tubes for the mount to sit on.
