I know of customers' installation shops which have made modifications to our series of 3rd gen corvette Crossmembers to work with the 1982 model year, but the modification is often more than the average home installer is comfortable undertaking. The area which requires modifications are the horizontal mounting holes on our series of Crossmembers do not align with the holes on the vehicle frame. This typically requires some welding and properly positioned holes then drilled into the Crossmember. The vertical mounting holes do properly align, which helps in positioning and measuring to make the modifications.
