true.very rare.but a hell of a lot of money for a part that usually never rots.( at least on cavs anyway ,)

This bit does if treated to yrs of crud, and not washed in 40 yrs, and you might as well through in a bit of road salt,

 

 

Hard to get, only part number coming up was in russia? 

Gave up in the end and went 400 style raised springseat.

not had or seen it myself on my cars or others but obviously anything can rust out if the circumstances are right, 

obvoisly plenty of other more common areas ive had to deal with over the years. 

the part at the top .the long complete chassis section i once had brand new in a gm dealer clearance  i once bought. but didnt think id ever need it and binned it a good few years ago ! along with various other bits of chassis pieces for various gm cars. shame realy but back then nobody would have bought them even if ebay had existed .

Think bodyshop would have used these for a rear stunt, would have benched it and pulled it out. Then cut the chassis out and replaced it with new leg.

Nowadays, nothing is fixed, too expensive too!, new car needed. End of, and they say whats greener?

They knew mine was a write-off without even looking at it. (Not a Manta) I bought it off the insurance company for next to nothing and half a tub of Plastic Padding later I was back on the road.

I wouldn’t try replacing this part myself it looks like a lot of work 😬
