...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? |

We've done outer console repairs two ways: Patch what's there, or replace with custom fabbed parts.
Here are some pictures of both methods: The lower section was pretty much missing but the bolt tubes and upper structure were still sound, and there were prior repairs in the surrounding area, so we patched. IIRC, on this car the rot extended higher, and the car was more original still, so a more extensive repair was warranted. Doesn't look too bad from below Here's how it looked after cutting away the damage The custom piece we fabbed, like my raised suspension kit pieces Using a trailing arm pivot shaft to align the new piece Finished |
