Hi all,
Fuel tank straps are pretty corroded on my Astra Coupe. I'd like to replace them.
Seems to be a hard to get part, I haven't tried Vauxhall yet, but most likely will be ridiculous prices.
They are just 2 metal strips, so I thought I could just get some mild steel flat bar stock, use a torch to bend it to the same shape as the crusty originals, drill them and coat them in anti rust coating.
They aren't a complex shape, items 23 and 24.
I was thinking 3mm flat bar stock - mild steel.
cheers,
Warren.
Ps alternatively if anyone knows where would do them for reasonable money, I'd go that route.
