A bit more from this week.
Drilled and prepped the jacking points and inner sill (used my new air punch for the holes; a great time saver!)
Lots of clamps to hold everything in place:
And weld away:
End result. All N/S jacking points plug welded to the top hats and chassis, seam welded to the cross members, and inner sill welded to top hats:
I’ve also bent and fitted a new N/S brake cable guide tube (the old one snapped in half when I removed the rear outrigger). The replacement is stainless steel so shouldn’t rust out. I got the guys at my local metal fabricators (Elite Fabrication & Welding) to flange the end of the tube when I picked it up so it looks just like the factory tube.
