Looking for this bracket...

[TDIDaveNH]

Hello fellow B4 folks....
It's been a while....
This bracket is underneath on the right side just ahead of the rear axle beam and holds up one end of the plastic splash guard. I have found 2 recently (one on a parts rig and one from Abacus's B4V that literally crumble in your hands, I suspect they used some cheap steel for these, they rust up differently than any other bracket under the B4. If yours is still good...Evapo-rust it and paint it up. Much thanks if you have one to spare and can ship to NH.

Is that part #5 in this diagram? It might be NLA

Your best bet would be to try making your own with some 16ga steel and a vise

Yes, that is the one. I've already resigned myself to making one lol.

I don’t post frequently however, I read this forum a lot !
Reading TDI Dave’s post about the bracket, sent me under my 1996 B4 to look at my bracket !
PHEW… long time ago while ’between’ careers, I was under my Candy White Passat with rattle cans of undercoating,
brush-on and spray-on “Corrosion X HD“, non-hardening thick film coating.
‘Been there, Done it !
Removed it today for inspection and… GOOD as new !
While it is out, I’ll repeat the undercoating & Corrosion X on it as well as, the surrounding areas !
I’d add a picture but things are not cooperating…

All the B3/4 cars I had access to at one time are gone, and although I did get some of the paneling from under one or two of the B4's I ran into I'm not sure I picked up any spare brackets. I also passed on a center exhaust shield once that I probably now, thinking back, should have gotten.

I had always hoped to find a #6 from the parts diagram but never have, and shipping for that monster is outrageous.
