chassis leg

[wee dav]

HI! I'm new here:thumb: I was hoping someone could help me. I'm trying to restore my nova sr mk1 (89). I need a rear drivers side chassis leg. Vauxhall dont make them anymore and I cant find a company who does. I thought someone may have bought the original tooling from vauxhall.
Does any1 know if they are still made somewhere?

I really wanna get the car back to showroom condition If I can!

Hope someone can help! Cheers david

I dont think there made anymore, the last few were sold by vauxhall a while back.

You could cut some out of a rot free nova, if you can find one,Lol.

I think the only place to find a rot free nova is spain and other warm countrieslol
The guy doing the work for me wasnt happy about using a second hand one. He is worried incase it wouldnt line up right. I may have to though!

Thanks for your help anyway:thumb:

Project sounds good mate.
I doubt you will find one tbh unless you get one that a hoarder decides to let go.

Ive just had mine repaired big style as my back end was seriously rotted. If you want to do a good job I would suggest cutting a good one from a rot free car. Plenty about really.
If I was doing it myself (I cant weld) with time not an issue I'd cut a good one out & then get it zinc plated/galvanised before welding it in. Wont rust then!

(u cant weld sumin 1s its calvionised tho)

Sorry if am wrong

yes you can but the fumes it gives of is highly toxic and poison and it doesent generaly leave a very nice weld but yes you can weld galvanised steel
