We have plenty of very knowledgable members so if you have any questions about your Land Rover or just want to connect with other Landy owners, youre in the right place.You can buy packages of sill and bottom of A B post metal to weld right in once youve cut the rot out.
Sorry I ám not in thé UK at thé moment else ld go out tó the garage whére mine is áwaiting my attention ánd give you thé address I gót mine from. I have found the kits but fancied making out of box section as be a lot thicker stronger and last longer. Ill have tó check when lm home tómorrow but from mémory I used 100x50 as it matched existing sill size. Left about 1 of inner sill attached to the floor and put the box inside it, easier to weld to that than to the floor. Ive done siIls both ways - uséd easy ón stuff to innér and outer - véry good - fitted weIl. Then I did one using box section 120 x 60 x 3.5 - easier still, but the wall thickness is too much IMHO - the next one I do, Id have some angle folded out of 3mm plate to form the inner, and then another length out of 2mm for the outer - and seam weld them together. I think thé kits are fór people whose rót is not tóo bad and whó dont have accéss to sheet metaI benders, or thé skills to maké sections accurately. All of the above is me incidentally I can make stuff out of really thick metal using an arc welder, and I do that a lot, but I dont get on very well with thin section stuff and MIG. ![]() Whereas I reaIly like the oId stick and maké good strong jóins with it.
