Help, parts needed

[Paulios]

Hi everyone, finally got Florence's front end off but in doing so I snapped one of the upper radiator mounting brackets, the L shaped ones. So I'm on the scrounge if anyone has the left hand side bracket. Thanks in anticipation.

Who is Florence?

They are NLA mate and quite annoying to come by. Take it you snapped the stud off?

 

[Paulios]

Florence is my very strange MK2, you know it. All the front end fixings were rusted so the whole job was a right royal pain in the harris

 

[Flob]

I repaired one for a mate years ago by welding another stud on, got any mates with a welder?

 

[Paulios]

Sounds like a plan mate.

These type?

Drill out the remains of the bolt and put a nutsert in.

Those look familiar, I'll give the offending article a good coat of looking at tomorrow

 

[Brigsy]

I might have a refurbed set in the garage if you want to buy a set.

 

[Paulios]

What's the damage, amigo?

 

[Flob]

Are they not this type?

Brigsy's riv nut suggestion would work with them too.

 

[Paulios]

Deffo, the first set

Hi briggsy, drilled out the remains of the captive bolt and replaced it with a bolt and thin locking nut, quick wire brush and a coat of black, hoping that does the trick. Nevertheless thank you for your assistance along the way.

Think I should change the name of this thread to "Help, brain needed" what are you like on getting injectors out of the manifold? The now brutalised manifold is off the engine and I want to remove the injectors. How does one do that?
