It this a stengthening plate for solid sub-frame bushes? If so, what did you use / any tips to recreating it?

Hi ...no trouble they are just the standard rear subframe mounts remade in stainless..very easy to make providing you can cut and drill the stainless as its hard and eats drills...failing that they are available to buy ready made from a few mini specialists..I do have a spare set if they are any good to you..Cheers..Mark.

Arrhhh yes I made the plates bigger out of 2mm stainless ..again easy to do ..drilled for plug welding and holes drilled to accept the standard footprint for the rear subframe mounts.i can measure if you need a reference of size..
