Scimher Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 ...A longer-range shot of the nearside floor area showing the removed piece of metal & the resulting access 'hatch'... As instructed, I acquired a piece of plate about a foot square & about two to three millimetres thick for the necessary repair...That's where we're up to at the moment. More to follow... (While I'm here would anyone have a reasonably priced steering rack - I lost out to one that has just been sold on ebay - I had put a bid on it & then forgot when it was finishing............It sold for 60p more than my bid - final price, 25quid!! Very annoying!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonnick Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 A steering rack for a RHD drive ? - I think I have still got the old one somewhere in the hut when I replaced it with a LHD one. I will have a look and post a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scimher Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 ......Lovely - that looks ideal... Thank you very much for looking it out, Antonia, & posting the photo - I shall send you a 'personal message'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scimher Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Well, as you may have gleaned from another thread, 'Little Sis' now has her trailing arm anchored & there is a heavily-reduced chance of me doing a 'Fred Flintstone' in the near future. Also, the driver's seat only seemed to be held in three places - not the front offside, so the constant movement created metal fatigue at the back, nearside anchorage point, adjacent to the transmission tunnel... ....Now for some rotary wirebrushing & some rust-inhibiting paint, etc....(Huge thanks to Mike for his herculean efforts!!)

Scimher Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 During looking for the thread on hoods, I came across my thread on the repair in order that the 'trailing arm'(?) bracket could be safely re-attached, having pulled away due to (fortunately!) just local corrosion.....I noticed that I hadn't posted a picture of the front of the repair - so here it is......
