Noticed my rear crossmember had some significant rot. it's a bolt on but I can't find the right size. I figure I can cut it down and drill a longer one but would be worried about the galvanizing. suggestions? anybody know if I can get a custom one made non local (guessing that won't be worth it)

What size are you looking for?

got a length?

googling "bolt on trailer crossmember" brings up a bunch.

cold galvanizing (high zinc primer) is common.

Yeah I found a good bit but nothing exact. Not a big deal to cut it down. I had already bought some zinc primer planning to sand and coat a few spots on the trailer and lift before they get out of hand.
