Are you talking about the brackets with 2 bolts through? If so they are only about £8 each.Not worth welding.

They are quite thin metal really and corrode quite badly. Check the anti roll bar isnt under stress. When you remove the bracket bolts with the wheels off the deck they shouldnt move and the bolts should go straight back in. If the roll bar moves or jumps when you loosen the brackets, that would suggest that something is bent or damaged.

Hi,
Do they have blacksmiths/ metal workers on the isle of Wight ,if so they could very easily rattle you up a couple of heavy duty brackets/clamps.
Cheers.
