I used Hardian panels, good enough for the job trimed off what was not needed and they fitted a treat…

yea i used hadrian panel and it came with brake hose bracket on,needed some manipulation to get it to a stress free fit. good value for money though.markwon said
Nice work - axle mount looking good. Always feels reassuring when you start welding in new metal. Did you use a Hadrian repair panel in the end, did it come with the brake hose bracket?

Don't want to hijack your post but……
For anyone that has fitted new axle mounting points, when you came to fitting the rear brake flexi pipes to the brackets (the ones already on new axle mounting points) with the axle back in place did you find that they were out of position? Mine are quite far out but the mounting points are positioned correctly. They will have to be removed and repositioned thats how far out im talking
Dan you are doing something wrong can you drop me some pics ? I will post them for you on here and WE can sort you out
Cheers…..

Its a bit cramped in there i know espacially for a sixfoot two'er! Its no fun if its too easy.
Dani ill check location before i seal it up,it looked good lined up with the original though,maybe your bracket was on wrong from the makers.

What have you coated the underside of your car with to replace all that vw sealer? I have been told that stone chip will do the job?
I've been smearing the same area of my car with TEX Seam Selaer then spraying that with stone chip paint.

Here's where i moved the flexhose bracket to, only its own length out.
will soon be sealing it up on this side first with stonechip in the wheelarch area followed by shultz underneath,sprayed on for that smooth finish,then ill paint it with 2k in the spring when ive finished the other side.(well hopefully in spring anyway)
Christos is here again and im demanded in other things for a while.so wont be back in the garage until next year,how shat is that? still you cant have it your own way all the time. Chuffin christos eigh!
