Just change the round support beam and possibly the ARB. I doubt that the chassis beams would have deformed.

yeah swap the mounting bar over (340s and 360s are the same IIRC) and jobs a good un, shouldnt have done anything to the chassis rails, could be a PITA to get the bolts out though!

thanks for the replies, hopefully its something that can be done in a car park, and that its safe enough in the meantime to drive 150 miles on motorways

I drove a week without while I was welding up the beam..

Just be sure the arb doesn't block anything what could lock your steering.

You'll need one from a 340, the 360 one has no engine mount brackets. Looks like it hasn't damaged the chassis rails so you probably only need a jack and a 13mm socket to fix that. 340pw
