Inners sill

Decided to make a new inner sill to replace the one that got bashed when I got run into - since she decided not to admit liability (working on it) I started to work on it myself.

I looked at the old one and decided all it was, was a piece of unistrut with 2 brackets on it.

So, a piece of galv uni strut, cut to give the sill itself, and I just welded a piece of this on at the back for the tub bracket, and at the other end I cheated, I cut the plate off the old one and welded it on.

Looks pretty good, not the neatest piece of metal work I have done, but for 2 hours, no hacksaw blades to cut the steel - used all of them getting the old sill off! - and an angle grinder I think it turned out pretty damn good, and the unistrut is far heavier steel than the original sill.

Rocksliders next!

That's wot I said last November an I still ant got round to doing em!!!!!!!!!!!

U got any pics?

I will get them on tonight.

Off to give them another coat of primer so I can get them painted and on tonight.

Here are some photos from the making stage.

I cut the bulkhead side plate off the old one and welded it on, I took a notch out the top of the unistrut so that the original section would sit flush with the unistrut.

I forgot to take photos of it finnished and painted, and its on now. I will get some photos of it in situ, it looks the buisness.

I might make a modification to it, which would be welding a length of 1/4inch rod to the edge of it so it has a lip like the original.
