Rear wishbone removal -how?
Discussion
Sparky99 said:
I've just had the rear wheel off and have found my annoying sqeak sound to be the metal plate that the rollbar drop link attaches to split in half. Doh!.
So I need to remove the bottom wishbone and will weld a new plate on.
Has anyone got a set of instructions for removal.
Cheers

Heres mine prior to repair.
You can buy a reinforced pair from Clever Trevor and weld them in place.

You're not trying hard enough 
This is how to properly break one.........
(yes that's right both sides sheared off and snapped in the middle!)
Wasn't quite what I expected to find whilst under the car yesterday when trying to fix the handbrake
Handbrakes now fixed, looks like another job to do

Gents,
Thanks for the help.
I'v also had a chat with one of the guys who used to build the cars. There are two types of these plates and the ones show above (like mine) are the cheap ones. The more expensive ones have solid 'D' shaped sides and never break. TVR bought thecheapy ones when they were scrimping on the pounds. Its definitely easier and cheaper to fix in situation as suggested by haircut mike. This avoids messing up the geometry. Its been suggested just to weld the original back together and should have no further problems. This is what I'm going to do first and see how it goes.
Bye for now.

It must be that time of year, as my n/s/r ARB bracket snapped last night as well.
SC Power have some here and suggest that they are reinforced over the standard OEM - http://www.sc-power.co.uk/pages/SC-Power-Wishbones...
If one has gone, such as in my case, would it be prudent to replace both at the same time?
