I thought I remembered someone on here made their own trans crossmember for the swap and was wondering if that person could post the specs for that crossmember they made.

Why not just buy a MD or RMP one?

There is no reason to pay $130+ for something that could cost you $30 for supplies at Home Depot.

Just a word of caution.
If you don't get the dimensions right you will run into problems. Some people even have problems with the manufactured ones and have had to shim for pinion angle and drill out holes to make them larger for mounting. A few years ago someone modified their old mount for the t5 and they ended up saying that it was more trouble than it was worth.
Believe me, I am all about doing things myself. I also realized the money I saved was not worth the time I would spend when we converted to the T5.
If you can get a measured drawing or can copy one and you can weld good, then go for it.

Thats what I was getting at.

I am all for doing things yourself too, but sometimes its better just to buy the correct part.
