MOT Epic fail........ was created by Back in Black
Jimny has just had his mot test and has failed most spectacularly 
He's got 5 rusted body mounts - 2 at the front, one either side in the middle and one rear mount. Is it possible to get the mounts replaced? If so, does anyone know how much they are and where I could get them?
Any help greatly appreciated

Sure jimnybits could do some as they make up the extended ones for bodylifts.
The problem will be trying to get the current ones out, front and rear would be ok to replace the full mount but I think the middle ones would need new sections welded in from inside under the rear seats.
Could be looking at several hours of garage rates unless doing it all yourself.
Might want to do a body lift as wouldn't cost much more.
Sure someone will advise of mount availability and Gaz and others can advise specifically on labour and technicalities involved.
Good luck

Hi Halford,
Thank you for the feedback, I'll see what others say about replacing them. Unfortunately I can't weld, so it will be garage rates to get them done
Already have the body lift spacers in place ! Doh

stick some penetrating oil on them yhen see if you can crack them open,
else will need them on a ramp and some heat applied with fingers crossed.

I think you got your wires crossed it will be the bits on the body that have rusted not the bits that just unbolt and replace. That would be easy welding up the bit I think he means is a diffrent ball game
