Can anyone tell me where I can get a pair of brackets like this from?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

depends what size you require, probably easiest to get someone to make you some

do they have to be ally? you could make them yourself with a good grinder and mig welder (if you can weld) (y)

Cheers Dave.

I managed to secure the purchase of the rear upper strut brace from the guy I nicked the photo from - he had sold the Astra about 3 years back and this was all he had left from the Astra. Initially I'd planned to use my redundant front upper strut brace (that was replaced by a Whiteline one), hence the call for brackets but now have the Weichers rear upper strut brace.

I know people say it doesn't make hardly any difference but since I've got a Whiteline RARB, a Whiteline front upper strut brace and I'm upgrading the FARB to 24mm with 888Dan droplinks, I thought I may as well complete the whole set. I'm also doing the lower engine mount to a powerflex bush.

All I need now (apart from a better engine......) is a set of decent cheap (must be cheap, lol) 17" snowflakes/turbo/Vec C SRi alloys.

Thanks 🙂

I was tempted to get a set cheap and refurb myself - I'll need to 5 stud too. I quite like gun metal but think the standard colour will go better with my car and show the red brakes off a little more 🙂.

Good price on them too at £115 with good tyres delivered. If you see anymore let me know 😉.

they were on ebay, a bloke was selling all 4 but singles so bought 2 of him n he did a deal on the shipping

i like the standard look but thought go abit darker maybe not gun metal but inbetween silver n dark grey. al keep an eye for u. i think the sri alloys would fill the arches nice on a mk4 astra(y)

Cheers Dave. If I have to do a refurb set then I may well try and do something a little different too 🙂.
