Default Cross member ??

Let me start off with thanks for the help. Now, I am changing my 95 A4 over to a LS M6. I stripped a wrecked 02 SS to get the parts for the swap. Went to put the trans cross member in and it doesn't work, the bolt holes do not line up. I need to know if the cross member fron a LTx car will work for this or do I need to buy a special one, if so who has one?

if the holes dont line up on the body maybe some adapter plates might help? bolt to trans and lift it into position you might just be able to weld the holes up and drill new ones? alot of this stuff is very forgiving if its not too far off.
