Get new mountings as well, the rubbers, bolts, washers etc.

I need to get mine done as well but not having a welder and not being able to weld is a bit of a drawback.  :wink:

So I'm getting a local guy to do it for me, when he comes back on leave from the North Sea!!  :D

Where did you get yours from?  Repaired (some of ) mine for the MOT, but could really do wih being replaced, and the LR one is soooo expensive

Got mine from Paddocks, along with the rear floor and floor crossmembers (I 've got a bit of rust!  :( ).

It still wasn't cheap though, over £100!!  :shock:
