Tailgate strut brackets
AdeV:
Thanks all! They were pretty easy to make really, which is how I managed to knock them out in just one evening.

Hah - there's a latch in the middle of the tailgate, which I always whack my head on. It's chuffing sharp too, and usually draws blood. Therefore, I reckon I'm safe from these babies!

Ah, that's easy: It's a special anti-gravity ring. I used to have a load of them, but the buggers all floated up to the ceiling & I can't reach them, that's the last one... :)
Divided he ad:
Job done!
New car eh? That'd make bandsaw collections well easy! :lol:
Nice to be able to sort stuff out innit? :dremel:
When you coming to get them seats? :poke: :)
Ralph.

The other reason to do this is that paint won't stick to sharp corners. You need a generous radius to stop the coating from thinning out around the corner.
Nice job. It's amazing what fixes are open to you when you have the gear.
