yeah i could make them but dont have the workshop or space to make them lol

if i have to i can make some up at work but id need the sizes etc

if i could buy some it would be easier

mine arent totally rotten but have been patched and arent very straight from people jacking it up on them

if its only the underside you are talking about then just make up new ones, in order to remove that section and replace it is not worth the effort unless you really really need or want too, that section is not avalible to buy anymore only the forward sections are easy to get, you can get a full lenght leg but it'll cost over 200 by the time you get it shipped and you can only get RH side ones, then if you did get one you would need to cut it in half to get the bit you need thus wasting alot of money.

I KNOW COS IVE DONE IT!! lol

Ok looks like I'll be making some if I get round to it what would be the best size to use 2mm?

Could I use large box section with some flanges welded on the top to weld to the floor?

Other vauxhalls might share the same shape and still be available :d
