Replacement longitudinal member

[simonrav]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a place that sells replacement sections of the longitudinal member (that the front bumper bolts to)? I removed the front bumper today to find that the bumper iron had rusted away and taken the front section of both the longitudinal members with it.

I was considering grinding it all back and building a new section out of sheet steel but I'm not sure if this will be strong enough. Any ideas?

See photo below.

Cheers,

Si

Get the right parts mate, Use the wrong parts and it could all end in tears.

are you on about the chassis leg? i think they are replacable

[simonrav]

Yep the chasis leg. I just called it what the Haynes did I've looked around on the net and can't seem to find a place that sells it. I'm really not sure what to do.
