Default There's a hole in my cossie.....

Hello Chaps

Whilst investigating the steering klonk and preparing for an MOT I noticed a hole in the cossie. When I bought it about 5 years ago I noticed that both front jack mounts were bent, cracked and damaged. Looks like someone has used a cheap Halfords jack to lift the motor. This has recently got worse and corroded and the LH side has now crumpled and pulled the floor from the sill.

I have already repainted the whole car and was planning to repair / repalce these parts but it is now more urgent as the MOT inspector will take a dim view of daylight through the floor!

Has anyone else got similar experience? Has anyone else replaced these components? Are these commercially available or have I got to get them made.

If you are still confused what part i'm referring to it is the box section inbetween the sill and the anti roll bar mounts.

Cheers in advance

Paul
