Default Rear jacking points rotted

I've just bought a 940S estate, generally good bodily but one of the jobs to get done is the replace the rear jacking points which look very suspect.

Does anyone know where said items can be obtained?

If not what's the best solution? I can't weld, so it's a job for a pro.

I was making them but I don't have the time to do them anymore.

I was hoping to make a batch this summer just gone but alas that didn't happen.

Maybe this summer I'll get the time to do it, I need to make a pair for my 760 anyway so I will do them at some point.

Not much help unfortunately for you but you can't buy them anywhere hence why I started making them when I was self employed.

Thanks. I'll keep my eye out for a future post then! Presumably an alternative might be to cut a couple out of a breaker?

I would imagine it would be a tight squeeze with an angle grinder but I'm sure you could do that.

Is it the actual jacking points that have rotted or the sill near them? Fixing the sill might be enough to restore strength, at least for MOT purposes.

Replacements used to be available as genuine classic parts with part numbers 3503491 (front) and 1267130 (rear) but they now show as discontinued.

It's not a job I can do unfortunately as I don't have the expertise. I'll have it properly looked at on a ramp. As you say it may just be that area of the sill., that needs repair. Thanks
