Rear Suspension Carrier Mount Options

[mbseto]

...that's the most official name I've heard for this. It's a mouthful to search on. No one makes one as far as I can find, but Tangerine makes some sort of kit. Not sure if it's a reinforcing kit or a replacement, or whether it works with stock geometry.

I think I'll have to rehabilitate this guy somehow...





Was thinking of posting a WTB ad in the classifieds, but would anyone be cutting up a car if this area weren't pretty gone?

I've always called that the outer suspension console. And yours does look pretty nasty.

But not TOO much worse than mine, which I think I was able to repair pretty effectively after blasting. I don't have any good pics of the repair, but the good news is the repair doesn't necessarily have to be particularly beautiful in cosmetic terms as long as it's structurally sound.

Anyway, maybe get it blasted and then assess if it can be repaired? I cut out the metal with the hole as shown and used my "mad" welding skills.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ... to put in some solid metals patches. There are a couple of threads here (ScottyB's comes to mind) of good console repairs.

That's what I call it.

I'm a couple weeks out on cutting up the parts car here at home. The only thing spoken for is the back wall/dash for Taylor Whitesell's project.
