BGT rear quarter light brackets

[niva441]

Morning All

When I was talking to the MOT tester post test last week I noticed the gap at the bottom edge of the rear quarter light was larger than I remembered. So I thought it was time to investigate it.



I think about borrowing the quarter lights from the V8 I'm working on in the garage, but they are in similar condition, so once I've done this one, I'll add that to the job list for that one. Removing and stripping the quarter light revealed that there wasn't much left of the lower bracket apart from the screws and rust that was enough to make it difficult to clean up.

The brackets aren't too complicated so I could make them myself, but I'd rather get on with other stuff. I've had a look on various sites and can't see anyone offering them and frames are no longer available. Does anyone know where I might be able to find them?

Thanks Todd

Thanks for the reply. The critical bracket is listed in the parts catalogues, but nobody seems to stock it. I ended up ordering some stainless angle section and eventually found that the screws were equivalent to M3.5, so I got some stainless ones (as well as M3 & M3 until I worked out the size). I was going to rivet the bracket to the hinge on the vertical section, but there wasn't sufficient access for my rivet gun, so screws there as well.
