Rear bracket for spat

Does anyone have a photo or drawing of the small bracket that bolts to the rear of the wheelarch and provides the mounting point for the pin on the rear of the wheelarch spat? Both of mine have rusted away, one completely, so I only have a vague idea of what they should look like. I guess that I'll have to fabricate them, as I can't find them in the Robey catalogue.
Best wishes, David

No photo, but they are basically a near right angle bracket with a dished hole in, of sufficient diameter to accommodate the circular spigot which is on the rear of the spat . You will be able to fabricate one in a few minutes, but it will be best to make a template in very thin metal first , e.g. a cut up soup can , so as to position the hole accurately

Hi David

If no better/quicker offer turns up I'll take one of mine off and measure photograph for you, unfortunately at work right now, so if you cn wait 10/14 days I can get for you. Hopefully one of the lads will get you the photo/measurements before then.

Good evening John
Thanks for the offer, which I'll gratefully accept if you have the time to do it. No great rush, as the car is up on my hoist for the next batch of welding.
Best wishes, David

Hi David

Should you not get the information earlier, then once I'm home I'll take off a spat and measure/photograph the bracket for you.
