Anyone know if you can buy the plate that welds onto the end of the cross member to inner wing support bracket or is it a case of making your own?

do mean this? http://www.minisport...o_AHP36001.html or the reinforcement for the shock absorber top mount?
If its for the shock absorber top mount , heritage inner wings come with this attached but if you dont need the inner wings I believe you would have to fab this up.

I've just replaced both my inner wings with heritage panels and I had to make them myself. They are easy to do. They didn't come as part of my inner wings. I couldn't find them to buy, but granted I didn't look very hard.

I've just bought a heritage inner wing. Removed the old one yesterday to find the support bracket which covers the end of the cross member/blanks it off so to speak, is badly corroded. Could make one myself but just wondered if could buy for ease.

I bought heritage inner wings from DSN Classics and it came with this blanking plate/reinforcement already on it but I suppose there is no harm in adding extra reinforcement

I am surprised that the inner wings don't all come with the doubler plate attached, as it is nesessary to avoid cracking, and always needs to be replaced with the inner wing because it rusts, as you obviously know. But I can't imagine many people needing the doubler on its own, because to change it the inner wing needs to be removed.

na heritage ones only have clearance holes in where front strut mounting bolts through into the corroded plate which has threaded plate welded on for bolts to screw into.

I had to remake two for Project Erm. They did not come fitted as standard and were very easy to fabricate. Don't forget they kick in slightly at the rear to follow the contour of the inner wing.

Oh right my bad, I was told different.
