Deleted User Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'll glue it together with some Pritt if you want? :DSorry, just that I have one next to me...I don't have a welder and haven't learned how the panels line up on a Lemon yet, so I can't help I'm afraid.

C Mallock Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Have been quoted by my local garage the owner of which had to do the same on his 2000 many years ago,Need to have another chat with him as looking at the Chris Witor site the panels needed are still available.Just would rather give the money to a Triumph owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 To do it properly the bottom of the front wing needs to be cut off to provide sufficient access to the front of the sill. CW did a series of articles in the 2000 Register. I think a copy is in the Technical Notes, not sure if it's volume 1 or 2.I can't offer as I'm up to my neck in projects and I have no space at present. If you can, buy a grinder & a welder and do it yourself. Earlpart supply a really good middle sill buy the one with the "nose-extension" it's about £50, the cheap repro outer sill can be used, about £20 and then you fabricate the front part of that.Make sure the drain holes are fitted/clear, the wheel arches are sealed and the sills wax-oyled. Then seal of the top of the wing to prevent water drain on top of the sill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
