Do they make repair panels for these?

Halloo all you cool cats at Ma-Mock,
My Mog's sills are in bad shape and I'm wondering what I can do. The bad sections are roughly these:[frame]
[/frame] Each of the bad places are on the down-side, parallel with the ground. In each, the holes are so large I can stick my fingers through, and on one I can bend the remaining metal with the force of one finger.
I know a repair section is made that covers the outer under-door sill (http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/shop/pro ... e45904f5fa), but I don't think that's what I need for that front section. I've been doing research on how the sills are constructed and it doesn't really make sense...is there a single 'box', or is it welded together from three or four or eight pieces?
This is the bad bit of under-the-driver's-door-sill:[frame]
[/frame]You can see right through to the boxing plate! The top side, and the boxing plate itself, are in okay condition. It's just that bottom that's gone.
Next, and in somewhat better condition, are the rears of the sills, in the wheel arches, just forward of the rear spring mounting points. I'm unable to tell definitively if these are curved pieces or not. ESM offers repair sections here, too, but I'm again unsure if it's exactly the section I need: http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/shop/pro ... e45904f5fa
The left-hand side, which is in worse condition:[frame]
[/frame]
And the right-hand side:[frame]

What's my best avenue for repairing these so they'll last? I want my car to hold up a very long time...
