Generally I get involved in Land Rover based projects, but occasionally I help my dad out with some restoration work on his buses...
Today was one of those days, and I had offered to help him repair the rear cross member of the current restoration project - a 1963 Albion Lowlander Double decker...
I had not been involved in any of the original cleaning or removal of the rusted metal, so can't show pictures of that. However, you should be able to see the large hole in the botom of the cross member and the front face that has been removed in order to get all of the crud out.
The repair pieces I had folded by a friend with a brake press - The piece on the rear face (with the 3 holes) is 5mm and was trimmed and shaped by me to fit on site. The front face is 3mm, and did not require much fettling to get it to fit...
This should last out the rest of the vehicle at least!
