Richard B Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Me asking silly questions again. Does anyone make a reair panel for the boot floor - rear body mount above the rear outrigger?I gather it is two layered beastie and one of them is of a very heavy guage. I think the sag in Alisons Herald Estate where the rear wings have bowed out, is due to these mounts and/or the boot floor having collapesd. It is so bad the rear wheel arch repair panel we have bought will not line up with the sill & the valance. I know the panel is straight I checked.ps the guy who sold the estate to her said the body was fine............ (Not!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I feel sure something must be available as this area has been dodgy on every Herald/Vitesse I've had - yes it's 2 layered but the biggest issue I've had is getting all the sealant off - they seem to use something akin to road asphalt!

Deleted User Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Repairing the same area on one of our Courier rear tubs at the moment, it is a pain. Have looked at doing a repair panel several times but never got round to it. Sometimes don't think there is a big enough market left to invest in tooling? Then again we re-did the Herald/Vitesse outer arch a year or two back because the panel that was available was pants and I was fed up with trying to nail them into bonnets. We have sold shed loads since so there might be some mileage in a decent repair panel for the bit above the boot rigger mount. I'll ask our patternmaker/press shop guy.

smiddytom Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I for one would also be interested in this repair panel, never felt my repair was completely satisfactory, very awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
