MOT Fail

DerekT · Dec 19, 2012

Having congratulated myself on fixing a 2 amigo's problem that has bugged me for months and checked all the usual culprits, my 110 went in for MOT and as the title suggests, it failed!
The MOT refusal cert identified track rod ends - fair enough they were sloppy. Also highlighted broken spring retaining clip on rear axle. However when replacing that they noticed (MOT Tester missed it) the top spring cup was paper thin on one side and was actually fractured.
This is an integral part of the chassis. Has anyone had to replace this bracket or fabricate and/or weld a new one?
Rest of chassis OK, rear member has been replaced some time ago.

this bit??
They need welding on AFAIK, but they are available ready made.

DerekT · Dec 19, 2012

Yes! That's the bit! My garage had phoned the local stealer and they said no such bit available. I will be on to it in the morning. Thanks

I got a mid body cross member from them, quick delivery and perfect fit

mid body xmember is easy,like to see you weld a spring mount square....

That is the plan for the future. Bought it as a project, bodywork pretty tatty, but just keeps going as every day drive. Will keep it going until summer then perhaps a rebuild?

you will spend more if you dont... a bare chassis refit with rework of all mounts and panels can be done by 1 man in 6 weeks....
