Lower harness mounts - inspection there of

Ah, that's interesting AshG. Nice to have some first hand experience of these matters. Presumably your photos had enough detail to show the 8.8 or 12.9 markings on the nut?

Steve I could be wrong but in all the years I have worked in the motor trade and trust me it's more than a few, I cannot remember seeing 8.8 or any other on a nut.
Its more the strengh of the bolt @ 8.8 or more and personally my brackets are folded to give more area to weld to.

The metric nuts have something more like |8| stamped on them. It's hard to get nuts worse than grade 8 here.

Ash you say weld the brakets both sides is that cause the iva man says so.
surely if they are welded properly on one side that should be strong enough.

Fold the ends slightly and weld inside and out,over enginering in this department is not a bad thing and keeps the IVA man happy.
