309 Gti Rear Beam Bolt Plates

[JRL 14 1 Cars]

A while back I saw plates on the rear beam bolts in side the car as if acting like little stut braces. Im sure they dont do much but polished up theyd look great. Anyhow I have been told these two plates are standard on a 309 gti. Does anyone know if this is the case so I can put them on my 205.

thank you very much

They're standard fit on 309's yes, i have a few kicking about, or at least should have.

Brilliant they do exist! Do people fit them on their 205's? if you find a pair could I buy them off you?

Do people fit them on their 205's?

 

I fitted some to one of my 205s when I fitted the 309 beam. I wonder why the 309s had them?

Rich P has offered me a pair. Yeah I wonder why they had them they must do something. this might be the new in modification.

Many thanks to Rich P for sending me some of these plates. I owe you one mate!

How does it look like ?

A plate which covers the 2 mounting studs for the rear beam, about 10cm long with 2 holes in. 1 either side.

still nobody knows why the 309s had them.

Maybe it was because the 309 suspension is heavier that the 205 one and their boot panels were the same thickness, more strength.

That sounds like a good explanation.

[Baz 421]

Or just complete random, the plate isn't going to offer barely more strength, it's a piddly piece of pressed steel, just a replacement for washers IMO.
