I would definately suggest taking a good look about to make sure you don't have bad rot in any other structural areas. Good luck with the welding.

FredTransit 0 Posted August 18, 2008 Do cortina cars have spring hangers? If so you might be able to get repair sections for them. If not how about transit spring hangers? Will save you some work making one. Or both. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FredTransit 0 Posted August 18, 2008 Interesting, instead of going forward as you do with transits, go back for the P100 bits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FUZZY 0 Posted August 19, 2008 ouch :) that dont look good hope you get it fixed m8 :cheers: that will take some working out good luck with that one Hi ... several years ago saw a truck do this on fisherman who constantly reversed it into sea to retrieve boat etc. seem to recall when I saw him later with it fixed ,,, he showed me that he found a scaffold pole was right diameter and he welded that in. Dont recall after all this time exactly how but i have a feeling it went through whole of chassis rail ... Sorry after all this time i cant remember any more.

bortaf 83 Posted August 20, 2008 Might be worth checking out a sierra P100? there's a chap in surry that Darren got the P100 buck off who is breaking a couple, don't have his number but Darren might still have it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
