For the avoidance of doubt, we are talking about this bit:

Standard Landy rust pattern, test chassis with small ball/pein hammer backwards until solid ring found. Then support the chassis measure and remove tin worm as required.....

and if you reach the rear crossmember it's time for a new chassis

It's generally only the bottom and sides that rot out the top usually ok....

So the other side is good apart from the end, cross-member very solid.

I have ordered two repair sections which will need significant modification to make them work, but easier than starting from scratch.

Will need to replace about 12" of chassis back to the engine mount.
