Hi all,
I bought an 80 series a few months ago and I'm just in the process of tidying it up. I'm not sure what someone has done with the lower tailgate but both of the steel stays are badly bent and while climbing in and out of the back and leaning on the tailgate one has actually snapped since I bought the car. I'd like to replace both but prices are pretty expensive so I'm looking at nearly $200 Australian and they are also pretty hard to find.
Does anyone know of any aftermarket alternatives? I reckon I could almost get them made at a local machine shop for that price. I've looked for second hand but they seem to be very hard to find (still looking)
Part numbers are 65707 60012 (65707A) and 65706 60012 (65706A)
Cheers
