MOT Failure Help!!

jdhog · Jan 29, 2014

I have just had my 110 CSW 300TDI fail its MOT on quite a bit of chassis corrosion. I am fortunate to work for a machine tool company that has a Sheet Metal dept, so i want to get some repair parts made. To help this it would be useful to get hold of a chassis drawing (blueprint). Does anyone know where I can get hold of some drawings
Thanks in advance for anyone's time to reply.

Why can you not draw your own working drawings of what you need? That is what we did in the old days

Old skool for me when I did mine, cut the rot away with a grinder and air saw then make templates from cereal boxes then cut that out of 2mm steel and trim for a perfect fit

I cut a piece of steel about the right size then draw round it on chassis and then cut, I'm useless at measuring

Full LR chassis cad drawings are available on the net - my friend who has a CNC plasma machine used to just put 3mm sheet into his machine, select a bit of chassis he wanted to cut as a repair section and hit go!

Not sure how he found them, he doesn't live in the UK any more so I can't just pop over and get a copy.

Thanks all for replying. It was just a stab in the dark in case I could have got hold of a chassis drawing. As it turns out I just got under the Landy last night with a Rule and some Callipers and just sketched what I needed. Old fashioned way is the best as Thor1950 said
Cheers again for your time folks
