Oops maybe a little heat on the alloy post and a squirt of pipe freeze on the stud should see it out. :-)

Approaching the level of cheap farce now. Think I'll take it to an engine shop and see if they can help.

Also set about rebuilding my suspension cans today. Noticed that there was a bit missing from one of my spring end cups:

Image

Can this be repaired, or should I bite the bullet and buy a new one? Does anyone have a spare that I could swap for beer tokens of sommat?

You could buy a new one, not that expensive :

Calling all metal gurus!

Does anyone on here have the metal bending skills/equipment to fabricate one or two of these (one for each side of the vehicle) for me?

Image

This image of the severely bashed original shows that each single piece needs to be bent in two places, along its entire length.

Image

If there isn't anyone on here who can help, does anyone know anyone who could help?

This pic shows where the piece comes from, at the front edge of the rear wing:

Can you send me a fairly accurate drawing of it? Mainly the profile and the length. Should be no issues to make.

This is the plan and photos for the nearside, ie left-hand side of the car.

Click to enlarge the first image. Hope it's clear and detailed enough.
