Re: Accelerator bracket.
It just rattled (banged real loud) every time you put your foot down. Was fine for a few days till the new mounts arrived.

Re: Accelerator bracket.
Yeah, mine did the same thing when one of the mounts gave.....on the way to rescue my brother's broken down Megane.Jordi wrote:It just rattled (banged real loud) every time you put your foot down.
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I would just buy brand new genuine tbox mounts if any failed on my SJ, new ones are bloody strong!

Re: Accelerator bracket.
Looks like welding it is then Now can anyone tell me why Arc welders aren't any good for welding body panels please ? As I have an opportunity to borrow one but hear Mig welders are better. Thanks

Bodywork is too thin to use an Arc welder with, you'll be blowing holes everywhere 
I don;t think I would even attempt to use ARC on bodywork to be honest
