Doin Auto to Manual swap.. question

[GoinTopless240]

Does anyone have a good lead on a cheap manual cross member. I've been told that there is a difference in the auto and manual cross member. I'm trying to save some money for some new motor and transmission mounts and any place I can save a few bucks would be great.

I've checked with the three junkyards. two have no 240's at all. the one that did (89 240 coupe) had the driveline pulled and the crossmember was gone (that same car is missing the clutch pedal, clutch master cylinder, clutch hardlines and gearshift lower boot - thanks to me). it did however have the HUD still intact, (which looked promising) but I am in need to get this thing on the road. I've tried Car-Parts.com, but they don't have a listing for the crossmember. I went to the Nissan Dealer and theirs must be made of gold ($100). Any help would be great.
