Rear Jack Mounts

[smokey 0]

Hiya guys

 

Been making progress with the CTI and have nearly sorted out all the rust

Last night i got under the car and sorted out any rust under the boot and where the petrol tank goes (removed it the other day)

 

Was wire brushing it all then i used Kurust, hammerite paint, hammerite underseal with waxol.

 

Anyway when i was under there i notice the rear jack mount on the drivers side was abit rusty so i bushed it, with it then disintergrating into dust

 

So i continued to clear away all the loose rust so i could treat what was left. Basically the square mount is no more and there is a small gap so i can see inside the sill.

 

I can easily plate the hole, but i was wondering can you buy jack mounts?

 

Think it might be easier if i had one to weld to the sill rather than just a plate.

 

Thanks

Don't know if there is a repair panel available, but the CTi jacking point is totally different to the roofed 205 - just for fun!!! I'd just plate it as I don't use the pug jack on the Cti anyway - I find it VERY unstable
