Spring hanger repair

Post by LaserSean91 »

Hi there, Does anyone know of somewhere i can get my hands on a repair section for my drivers front spring hanger. The chassis rail needs repairing and the box section of the spring hanger. I have found them online but at a cost of £850 for the spring hanger and a 'member leg'. Just wondering if anyone knows of someone cutting a shell or has anywhere else i can purchase them? Thanks in advance, Sean.

Needs a bit of work but may get you out of trouble.

I've dealt with this man before and he's quite decent, his name's Paul.

Thank you for the reply, I had previously messaged this bloke and unfortunately he doesn't have a drivers side otherwise that would of been ideal. Hopefully I can find something similar.

I have some sections from shells that I have cut up, I can check and see if I have something .

Many thanks to Martin for sorting me out. That should be the last bit of welding now and the old girl is back on the road.
