What should I do?

- Car’s been out of warranty since Dec 2016 : do you think I can ask MMC for a complementary replacement ? Any personal experience on that topic?

I will try and post a few photos when I get them.

Many thanks,

If you're out of warranty, I can't see MMC falling over themselves to do anything for free, and their spares supply situation is pretty pants so you could be waiting months for a replacement anyway.

If it was me, I'd be straight on the phone to Simon at SiFab and get him to supply me with a properly welded replacement.
