Rear Spring Hanger Repairs

The car failed its MOT in 2004, one of the main points being the corrosion on the front and rear spring hangers, both sides.





Drivers side shown below,,

I ordered up the rear spring hanger repair panel from MGBhive, and the closing plate which removed from the above picture, and using a template from the cut away part, i welded in the repair, shown below,

I dressed the area with rust cure, then red oxided the area for rust proofing, and drilled the closing plate at regular intervals with a 6mm drill, to allow plug welding with my MIG welder, a technique which replicates a spot welder, and also seam welded along the edges to finish.
