Fitting sill and front spring hanger panels

Post by oldmod1968 »

Hi,

What is the concencus on fitting replacement front or rear sill repair panels and the front spring hangers. looking at charles ware site it looks like these are fitted on top of the floor rather than cut out and butt welded. I assume once completed and drenched in waxoyl or similar the overlap should not be a problem?

any views? thanks

cut out and butt weld
Is the quality way, putting one sheet of metal on top of another lets water in much easier than Waxoyl with predictable results :(
