thanks lads for the help

I smacked mine off a few things, including 2 curbs and numerous ditches and no bolts pulled out, i wouldnt worry!

ye i no what you mean lad al though sure i dont i wud like to take the chance the 1.8 wit its 140bhp mite not do antin but wen im gonna swap the engine ah ill look for a m3 in the scrap yard and cut the plates out of it save a few bob

Don't bother trying to find em and cutting em out of another one.. I made em for one of mine before.

@ Pete, its nothing really to do with hitting stuff, its all down to general wear and tear and metal fatigue mostly..very common in em

o so i jus make them what metal will i make them out of

Just a bit of sheet metal lad, mild steel or that...1mil thick be grand

good man thanks for the help hopelly i can get this thing reinforced so i can carry on re building
