Max5437 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Hi does anyone have or advise where to get a new tailgate bracket? One of mine had just snapped. Managed to get the boot back on straight ish but need asap. Look similar to gen 6 Celica ones if anyone knows if they'd fit as an alternative? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 These hinges are discontinued so outside of a breaker they will be in short supply. This is the kind of incident when a welder and a NVQ comes in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a side note Squiffy had the same problem in January and bought two off the forum, maybe he only used one in the end and then maybe if he has one left its just the side you need. It'd be worth asking the question anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get stuck I'll try and drop squiffy a pm in case he has one If they do work I'll post back on here in case anyone else has this issue in future (along with the contact details for the guy who can supply them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Be good if you can confirm they are the same as the 1990's Celica as there will likely be more of those around than those off a Mk4 Supra with ten time the production numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they are due to arrive this week so will report back. Had a look at my gt4 and the brackets look almost identical so fingers crossed. As you said there are tons of gen 6 Celicas kicking about and I know a few breakers as all the body panels are the same across the gen 6 models (bar the gt4 front end and floorpan) so fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 What I don't get is there is only one hinge part number for the Celica but two part numbers for left and right on the Supra. Am I missing something? The Celica part 68801-20090 is listing as available but the Supra parts are listed as discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can take a pic and post on here if there are or aren't any differences between the sides 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 It'll be fascinating to see if they are identical or mirrored parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
