Default Trans crossmember ??

I bought a new trans crossmember for my 92 mustang. The tubes that bolt the cross to the car are loose they are not tacked. I don't have the time to fit it into my mustang make the marks take it out and weld it. So does anyone have the measurements to put the tubes in right?

It won't hurt a thing in the world to just run it unwelded.

I have one at the shop. The welds are broke on it but, I should be able to tell where they were. I will get a measurement tomorrow.

Just wondering, how are you supposed to put a bolt through that and it not bounce around? Just seems like something is missing.

It's got rubber bushings and a smaller steel tube to go through the bushings. I'd assume it would be a equal measurement on both sides of the tube. There are slots in it where the trans bushings bolts to. So I think the tube measurement wouldnt be to critical.
