The English are known to do things that are, well - different... I am married to one so I've had some interesting experiences as a result.
I reacted the same way when I found out about the crossmember and was almost ready to farm out the work for big $$. I am glad I did it myself in the end as it really wasn't all that bad. My LWB doesn't have any of the usual rust as it was a NYC garage queen its entire life before I got it from the original owner. I know I lucked out in that - hopefully yours is not too bad.
When you look at the flanges on either end, if they look like thay've been manhandled out of the ends are bent a little, chances are it's been out at least once during its life. I was surprised at how easily it came out once a got it levered down a little on one side.
