Colin Lindsay Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Chic Doig would probably have one. 01592 722 999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 these are prone to fracture and you may get more life if you heat and bend a bit of decent steel strip DIY fashion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 otherwise theres a few complete boot lids with brackets intact on ebay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68vitesse Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Presumably you have both bits so could be welded back together. Regards Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 it does flex a lot and has a rather ropey rubber pad to help support the end on the boot panel making a simple L bracket out of a decent bit of 3mm plate will last better even more than the 50m yrs of the original pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgana Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 I've just checked mine and it's got a crack. The ropey rubber pad Pete Lewis mentions isn't touching the boot skin at all. I think I'll take it off and weld it back together in the first instance, and pack up the pad so it doesn't flex so much. @tchiggins I expect you've a local member who can weld it back together for you? It's not a difficult job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 I suppose its yanking the boot lid fully open that strains that bracket but then youve got to extend the support arm almost completely to get it to lock.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
