The M41 crossmember is pinched (for lack of a better word) near the center so it will fit in the gap between the gearbox and overdrive unit. A M40 crossmember can be modified to fit by cutting out part of the center, but as you would suspect, that will compromise it's structural integrity. That said, I have had a modified (by me) M40 crossmember on two different 140 models for tens of thousands of daily driving miles with no apparent problems. At the time I did the conversion, I could not find a M41 crossmember anywhere so I used what I had rather than what I would have preferred. -- '60 PV544, '68 220, '70 145, '86 745T Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
