Was hoping my 93 Fizz was nearly ready to actually use.....jobs so far including welding, lots of minor fettling, leaking radiator,washer bottle, washer tubes (3 places), oil, timing belt, tyres, drive shaft gaiter & much rust treating etc (thanks to Allen for bits & advice along the way).....& this all on a nice looking, low mileage car with long MOT.....but now find that the bottom cup for the rear spring -part of the rear omega axle - has rusted through (as have the metal washers which go on top of the spring below the rubber). So I need a new axle.
There is a new one on eBay & I thought 'every cloud' but that one seems to be only for a Panda van (box?) & it comes up as incompatible.....also a used one which maybe OK but looks a lot used! Anyone know if the van one can be used on a standard 2WD 141A and anyone advise me where I could source the large metal washers for the spring tops? Has anyone got these parts surplus (just in case).
I can't see that anyone does repair kits for the axle so its a replacement unless I'm missing something obvious? Thanks as ever & hope I've posted this right....... it's easier reading everyone's posts than actually composing one.
