Traveller Rust...

Post by bloodyank »

So, I'm replacing the wood on my beloved Traveller, and found a little rot..
The wheel arch flange on one side is a little rusted. Is there a replacement flange I can get or should I try to fabricate something?

Also the supports on the cargo bay are both bent by the looks of them. Should they be straightened and maybe reinforced?

Thanks in advance--

Considering where you are - you may as well fabricate the parts you need. Good pictures !

The boot floor brackets are ok, there is usually a plywood spacer fitted between the pillar and this metal bit.

This is the wheel arch repair section and the one I used was a easy to put on and a great fit.
