mine are rotted through including the brace that comes down at an angle from the rear of the plate, I have seen replacement kits and flee bay they are galvanised and require pop riveting. Has anyone used these and are there any others available and how what are they like to fit cheers

I fitted a set recently. They are quite easy to fit depending on the condition of the fixings you are removing. Some of mine I had to grind off they were that coroded. The rivet that comes in the kit for fixing the top of the support bracket is quite large, and i didn't have a rivet gun big enough, so plan for that. A nutsert tool would come in handy for this. I also renewed the mud flaps at the same time as all the fixings for those were shot as well.
