Ddgonzal you were right. Not nearly as bad as I first thought. Replaced the side of the rail after removing the radius rod mount and It's better than new.

I also ordered a new RH radius rod bracket. They are still available, and, the left one is as well, although it was going to be 1.5 months to have it manufactured.

Happy days, thanks for your help.

Hi guys,

Has anyone here repaired/replaced both of these front rails? Mine has a small amount of rust (seen just in front of the radius arm mount), but I'm sure when I cut the side open, there's going to be a lot more. I'd like to replace with something stronger.
Is removal a straight forward process? I'm going to make a jig that connects to the strut towers to use as alignment for the cross member before I remove so it all goes back the way it should. Was also thinking about using 2mm plate to remake the rails, as this seems to be a common rusted/damaged area.

Thanks.

Thanks mate. Looks like they may have them. Is that place legit?

Thanks mate,

I've contacted a few different suppliers to see if they have any old stock. I thought it might be a better option than trying to make them. Upon removal, I noticed one of them had previously been repaired from cracking as well.

Hi guys,

Does anyone have an old 1200 shell that they may be able to cut the front radius arm mounts from? I've had to repair some rust from the front chassis rail, but it turns out they are quite difficult to remove without damaging.

Any help appreciated. Happy to pay post worldwide if need be.

Thanks.

Still looking. Would also be happy to take the whole ute to get it out of your way of the rails are good.

Chasing a set of 180B late model struts if anyone has some lying around?

Need to have 80mm bolt spacing on bottom, and 3" (not 90mm) caliper spacing.

Happy to pay shipping to Victoria

Cheers.

I'd be interested for sure if that rear subframe is rust free...

Just the rear subframe! ie under the tray so I can shorten and fit to mine.

Ok cool, have any of the other parts gone. I really only need ute as a donor anyway.
