You can't buy one?
its not that simple@8ob, you've done Ali casting
Could you cut the rotten piece out and weld a new bit in?
unless I missed it what car is it from....?
could the bottom flange be saved and a 90 welded in and dressed / fettled till it looks old.
yep ,, but the bottom flange looks ok , and thats where your eyes drawn too ,,,this was my thought but cast Ali might be too far gone to save
I was thinking of a flat plate and 90 bend then age it but not sure yet so thought I’d ask
if it wasn’t visible I would have just had one made and left it but it’s right on top and in full view
Unless you can do the work yourself I think your £100 second hand one is your best bet
£100 is not a lot for an essential part. If you can't make something yourself then you'd easily use £100 of someone else's time.
