The bumpstop sat on and the holes drilled. No gaps now;)

Cheers - I’m looking forward to hanging up the welding torch to concentrate on some mechanical work (rebuilding the axles). I’m aiming to get the chassis prep and priming finished this week, fingers crossed!
I will need to spin the chassis over and finish off the work on the top side. There are a couple of weld repairs to do from the top to finish it off....:rolleyes:
 
I thought I would have a look at the bulkhead support mounting area again as it is the last bit of the chassis (hopefully) that needs welded:eek:.

I cut it out and was really surprised to find that there were crush tubes installed and they were in really good condition. After chiselling off the outer rotten skin, I cleaned up the original bracket.

After cutting and a bit of hammering I managed to get a fairly decent shape on the flange which forms the top edge of the chassis :)

A quick check of the alignment of the holes and all’s good to get welding....

Thought I would put some etch primer on just to give the corroless something to adhere to. Probably not strictly necessary but I thought it wouldn’t do any harm.....
