It failed leaking brake cylinder o/s/r and welding (shock horror) needed in four places but all are relatively easy to weld assuming the metal around it doesn't come apart when I grind it clean

I briefly worked at VWHeritage.
They supply pretty much everything you would need to build/rebuild a Beetle or camper van.

I just wish there was a place like that for Preludes. :(
