Why, oh why did I open that can of worms?
And I will spare you the sight of the remains of the boot floor.
OK; I knew it was rotten....but to really face the music is a different thing.
So - there goes another week of intense welding. Shame I have a full time job.
Couple of questions:
a) in my parts catalogue, there is a JP122/123 "repair panel, inner wing, rear" which covers the rearmost half of the inner wing. I can´t see from the drawing whether this panel includes the boxed section at the bottom, and the rear spring mount. It looks like it ends just aft of the bump stop. Who has seen such a panel?
b) On the RHS, the catalogue lists a "bracket" at the rear end of the inner wing. Some metal plate with a big hole in it. Do I need it, and what is it?
c) The catalogue also lists a JP168/169 "repair kit, rear wing mounting flange". It is drawn in 3 parts. WHo has seen one of these "kits"?
...and - more important (if you know the supplier and the panels) - how do they FIT? Expensive stuff with a bad fit is a no-no, maybe I should roll my own?
(Sorry I cannot name the UK company behind the catalog, the Swedish importer doesn´t list the name. All I can say is that the catalog is made up of really tiny and sometimes crappy drawn images, no photos. This is the only clue I can give you as to the UK supplier).
TIA for your time and advice, gentlemen. As always.
