Hi,
Does anyone sell the cross member closing panel? The one between the inner wing and the bulkhead cross member. Behind where the shock mount bolts on.
If not, what does everyone do about it when replacing the inner wings?

It is not much of a panel to self fabricate if there is enough left to copy.This would be my first choice.Steve..

Make your own, use 1.2mm steel sheet.

Done this on both my car and my sons.

Both my inner wings had this on already.  They also had the A-Panel on but I don't think that makes a difference to that plate on the inner wing

I figured I’d end up making my own just figured if I could buy them when I order some other bits it might save some time.
Thanks guys for your input

And i made a boo boo with my statement and as Cooperman says it should be 1.2mm. Not 0.9mm as i mentioned. (now adjusted)

If I'm not too late in replying: I managed to get a pair direct from the Heritage factory in Witney, West Oxfordshire, as I live not more than a mile away. I paid £12.95 inc VAT each in August 2020. I'm not very good at fabrication and there are a couple of subtle bends and angles so thought it best to get the proper thing. ALA7978 for the RH one (see Somerford Mini website).

See you at the pottery cafe then! Heritage is just off Range Road at the Downs Road end.
