rear arches

Just looking at the rear arches where the tyres have been rubbing slightlty under articulation
I noticed that the bodywork has corroded through and the rear panel is flapping about a bit!! The bolt is still in the chassis!. Is this a common problem and what's the best way to sort it without putting new side panels on?
The corrosion is too big for a big washer!!

Yes it's quite common,

Stick a small plate each side and bolt through. :wink:

Mine's done that too.  They go where the alu body panel joins onto the steel behind it thanks to every Landy owner's favourite electrochemical reaction.  :roll:

Having used a stupidly strong glue to put one of my doorskins back on, I'm tempted to try the same thing again on that panel.  If you get a decent thickness of glue, then the two bits should be electrically insulated from each other which will hopefully stop the alu rotting away again.
