Hi Chris hope your well
Did mine about a month ago
2mm plate sliced by metal man 70mm wide 1mt in length ! but I did't cut floor out so had to work between wheel arch
Get the corners cut out right back to the tube plate & lay a piece of 70mm that's 20mm longer than back plate(each side) lay over top chssis clamp down & weld In , then out of 70mm cut 2 angles & weld in then a front cover ! job done ! Simples![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Mine ended up smaller than original because of the room I had to work in but yours should end up proper size ! give or take a mill or 2 !![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Can't see the point in cutting the rot out & butt welding as your not going to be putting truck in any beauty comps are you ????![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
