Small welding job needed on tourer strut mount

steveharvey2001 · 8th March 2019, 19:05

My tourer's tailgate gas strut mounting bracket and needs a small weld repair.

Would anyone be going to the Wolverhampton nanomeet next weekend who could fix this for me?

HI Steve.
The same happened to my first tourer but I managed to catch it before it got as bad as yours as, also the tourer that I have now which was purchased Nov 2018 also as had the same side repaired, today I have added a bracket to the other side before that goes, sorry I doubt anyone can weld it at the meet but I can let you have a couple of the brackets in the photo's below Arctic

I have a spot of rust on one of my tourer's mounting brackets. So if I put a washer in, that will stop it failing in the future?

Arctic,

On Dad’s car, 53 plate ZTT 2.5, one is loose and the other has gone completely.
I think the nut is in the pillar somewhere on one side, as there is a rattling noise there when you wiggle it.
Do you have a source for your brackets?

Thanks.
