nuts, nuts, nuts and damnit. TomA, you were absolutely right: it's practically impossible to replace the suspension supports without having the original. So, I cut the original part off the front of the car and dropped it into place. Unfortunately I'd cut the tops off the front suspension already, so had to weld those back in place. That dog's dinner welding the tops back on took *eight* 2.5mm electrodes - four each side. Oh, and I need to do the inside as well (which will mean turning the car upside down at some point).
