Hi all having to sort the sills ready for an MOT. I have decided to replace like for like rather than going box section like I did last time. Got new inner and outer sill sections from YRM just wondering how to deal with the little upstand that the door rubber connects to? Do I try and cut round it to reattach to new sections or should I make up a new piece??
Thanks all

Leave the original & cut underneath it if its got enough good metal to weld to.
 
Fair enough. When I did our 300tdi with box, I didn't find it that bad, I started the arc on the heavy box, and worked the puddle up to dissolve the body's thin metal with the molten metal from the weld pool. So I wasn't playing the arc onto the body, and trying to balance between settings that melted box section without burning through the thinner bodywork. I also used the much maligned flux cored wire as I find it flows better 🤷‍♂️
