I never knew that about the spare wheel clamp! Learn something new every day. Now....cover on the brake servo..... does your car have a brake servo (never a factory fitment..) ? Don't drill any holes meantime till we sort this one out....pictures urgently please!

I suspect we may be talking about the master cylinder cover plate in the front rh floor. To be fair to Alan, he has told us English isn't his first language - and if he is conversing on a daily basis with the indigenous population of Sunderland he is at a double disadvantage. :wink:

Mark, I think you may have worked out what we couldn't! :D If that's the case then realigning the holes in the cover plate (if needed) would be ok.

Don't waste money on it, It's nearly £20 !!!!! These can be picked up for next to nothing and your spare wheel won't fall out meantime...

Ask in the Wanted section! Or attend an 'autojumble' - it's surely not a priority for you at the moment.......

No the main this is to finish the welding and then get the wood replaced but its very difficult when my money is little...

I have bought this one small peace foot rail for 30£ item number 111440699939 on ebay still not paid for, and I also have new doors 150£ for two the doors is a good price... you agree??

It's really up to you - personally - I think you are crazy paying that amount for a wee bit of timber...and the doors are also crazy expensive..... I'm sure you could pick up second hand doors for a LOT less.... If cash is rationed...concentrate on the essentials - and always ask on here for what you need. There are many generous people on here, who may have just the part you need going spare - and be willing to sell you it for a notional (or even FREE!) sum of money. :) You won't know if you don't ask!

The big problem is how to ask and where and who, every wooden part needs replacing...

do you mind if I add you to my helpful friends list.
