Another job on the list for this bank holiday weekend was the RH chassis rail. It has corroded badly and had plenty of holes! A new chassis rail panel was bought from Sussex Classic Car. Its the complete front from the steering cross member forward.
First step was to measure up, mark and cut the old chassis rail. I left 1/4" flanges extending from the steering cross member to weld the new rail to. On trial fitting the new rail was too long by 1/4", so it was trimmed and re trial fitted. I held it in place and tack welded. It needed some persuasion with the mallet to keep it straight.
Once fully seam welded all round, i ground it smooth and primed.
