TA0844 has a badly corroded bracket above the cross tube that supports the front of the rear spring, apart from removing the four rivets, what is involved in removing / replacing this bracket? Someone must have had this problem. All replies gratefully received...Bob.

Try to avoid unriviting.
In rebuilding the TA last year I found the same on my body
outriggers, but by cutting back carefully with an angle grinder
I reached good thickness metal (one usually does) .
I made up the new outrigger to the original pattern - cut it back
to fit the original "good Metal" line and welded it in place
Ive done this on a number of chassis with great success.
Careful Post weld fettling means the join is invisable.
Regards
Clive
