Hi Artic
Those prevention plates look good. Do you have any dimensions or part no. For them, as I would be interested in a set. Thanks Chris Sorry, just seen the links

For anyone who needs a relatively cheap fix, I found that using a 150mm long, 10mm wide bit of steel, some JB Weld and large pop-rivets provides a sturdy fix.
Looks awful, but I'm well aware that a lot of owners are running these cars as 'bargain basement' machines - and it provides a cost-effective solution. Drill 4 matching holes along the strip and area around the failed mounting (one of the middle holes is where the ball joint itself fits). Use JB Weld on the back of the strip when riveting in place, and then once fixed apply around the edges of the strip to take the loading when in use. Has worked for me opening the boot around 5 times a day (it's my load-lugger) and still holding fine several months later

Tourer Strut preventive Mod
Those that have a Tourer will most likely have heard of the gas strut breaking out of the side panel, below is a preventive mod to help stop that from happening, I added three sets to different Tourers at the meet the weekend by using the plates in the photo's.
Chris Tourer. 1 2 3 Steve (Devlish) Tourer. 4 5 Duncan's Tourer. 6 7 A pair was also given to Scott for his tourer.

From what I've read, fatigue like that can be caused by the spring-loaded lid lifting modification. Several threads discuss the problem, so if there's no springs now, was there in the past? I must keep an eye on mine, which has the lift kit.
