Hi All, Many thanks for the replies regarding rear brakes…
It gets worse… Is it possible to remove the rear radius arm
bush mount and weld a new piece of steel to the floor in order to
replace/repair the large rust area around my rear mounting… or
can anyone suggest an acceptable method of repair to this area
making my car road worthy again…

Hi Paul,
I’ve got a similar problem (rusted through at the end of the sill
and into the wheelarch). The other day I found a scrap car in good
nick and I’ve cut out a huge section. Now all I need to do is work
out what to cut out of mine and then get busy with a welder!!
From what I’ve seen, you can even get replacement radius arm mounts
and jacking points.
HTH

Paul, in scanning the site for radius arm mount rot problems wot I
have on my newly acquired '83 XJS I came across your enquiry. I’d
be interested to find out how you got on - both sides of mine need
doing and I wondered if it was easier getting panels or what
cheers
