jpmillermatic Member Messages 1,094 Sep 16, 2018 #246 good work, there! Which piece runs through the rail? is it that horizontal cross piece we see that just needs to be extended to fit? makes me wonder how it all was constructed in the first place. JP

HopefullySoon Member Messages 785 Location Heywood Sep 16, 2018 #247 Hi JP Cheers mate The top pic in post 244 shows it best I think for ease of manufacture the same sheet went horizontal through and upper/lower chassis rails welded thru it It extended further to the left untill it go chopped up to the wheel arch repair piece ... Problem is I can't join it as its too far gone further to the left in a side on pic Last edited: Sep 16, 2018
