I didn’t manage to get much done this weekend as we went over to Dorset Volksfest yesterday and today seemed to disappear. 

I’ve made a start on patching up the rear bumper brackets though, starting with the one that’s in slightly better nick (although still pitted quite spectacularly).

Rot marked up:

and cut out. Small repair patch shaped up and bent in the vice.

And welded in and ground down.

It’s not the prettiest bracket I’ve seen but once it’s painted up it should do the job. I think I’m going to weld another bit in up to the edge of the drilled hole in the bracket (no idea what it’s for any thoughts?)
