Other than that there are a lot of people braking discos, may be easyest to just put a new one on.

Having had an axle bracket break on me (A buttock clenching moment and no mistake...) I would just get a decent second hand one. They can be had for £50 -100 quite easily on ebay, forums and scrappys.

Considering you're a novice welder, replacing a panhard rod bracket at exactly the right angle is not the best begiiners project.

You can use the axle casing from a 200 or 300 model, or RRC built after 1986 ish, the ones with 7 bolts on the swivels.

 :lol: just got a 5dr disco, no engine or front , but the rest is there so Ive got my axle,plus a few other bits to play with, happy days for me but my shotgun is now a Landy Widow until its done and she can come out and play, so can anyone spare any time to help me swap axles, my shotgun will supply Tea and Biscuits, and i may have a bit you need. even if its just a call to give me some advise on how not to loose my fingers!!! thanx in antisipation SAV
