    130 HCPU Tailgate Hinges

    So, riding my old SR500 up a ramp into the defender I managed to shear both hinges of the tailgate. Here is a picture of the RHS.


    Does anyone know where I can buy replacement parts? I've made some calls but no one so far has been able to help.

    I'd like to exhaust all sources for genuine parts before I have some made to fit.

    Cheers,
    Lachie

    Karcraft (Silverwater) or BMI (Mulgrave) are major importers near Sydney and should be able to help.

    As an aside, the Series 3 HCPU had a lot of what look like the same hinges across their tailgate, whereas the 110 and 130 HCPU's do with two.

    I got one for my 130 at Karcraft, cost about $50, from memory.
    My (1995) 130 has four hinges. Apparently they could be ordered that way as a heavy duty tailgate.

    Some of the weight I slide across my tailgate I should add a couple more.

    Have to order some catches ATM, I've broken the retaining spring on both now and they're popping open on rough roads.
