My simple restoration http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/lr-lock-warning-lights-230076.html#post2663861 is throwing up no end of issues but coming along....
I have however found something today I thought I would ask about:
I took out the passenger seat in order to weld a patch in the battery box and paint it outside and in but once the seat was out I found this:
These are the two bolts for the passenger seat belt. They actually go through the tub into a rail attached to the chassis which is absolutely sound. The rot appears to be restricted to the aluminium alone and I think it is probably because it is in contact with the steel chassis.
My first idea would be to clean it back, put some kind of barrier between the chassis top and an aluminium patch riveted into place then paint it.
Is this the best way to fix this? Not checked the drivers side yet but the middle seat belt bolt areas are fine.
