Anyone have a RHD front beam? taken myn off and there is rust and holes on the horns. looking at welding but may be easier to get a decent one off here. Cheers.
 
I've got the one that came off my '68. It has two small holes in the inner shock towers which I can easily weld up for you........
 
I don't want to sound like a smart arse, but a 68 beam has a different fixing bolt pattern and wont fit a 72. Early bolt pattern beams only fit up to chassis numbers 219 300 000 (31 July 1969) so 68 and 69 model years. You'll need a beam off a 70 onward model year (chassis number 210 2000 001 onwards) to fit your 72.

Hope this is useful and apologies if it does sound like Im trying to be clever :oops: ;)
 
You're right dude - a '68 beam won't fit a '72.

Jinx, if you need any help with the welding give me a shout ;)
 
Got a rust free low mileage rhd beam with adjusters and red 9 bump stop replacements off my 72 available for £300, I'm in South Wales too.
