I'd hang on to your "rusty tat" if I were you. The minute you get rid of it, it's no longer just a bit of rusty tat but it becomes that absolutely impossible to get piece of kit that's going to cost you a small fortune to have fabricated to do that repair you're going to have to do next week to get the thing back on the road.
There's probably a "Murphy's Law" to cover that.

Yep your right that's why I've got the might be usefull material in the garage,round the side of the house and everywhere else,because when you chuck it that's when you need it,and can anyone answer when I replace a part why do I keep the old part if it needs replaced it must be junk.

When I had the rear cross member replaced recently, I kept the old one so I could see where it had corroded. Turned out to be everywhere!

That's why I keep the missus about the place cos it would cost me fortune to replace her.
