I have some pics of the footwell which I am replacing. All parts are from YRM and are excellent quality.
The only criticism is the the flange on the top corner repair could have been 10 mm deeper. But I welded a bit on so no problems.
The main footwell part was a good fit. I ground off about 2 mm in width at the very bottom right corner and it was nice and snug. Unfortunately the top mounting holes did not line up. So I will have to drill them out to suit what I have.I have a pic of that.
I am going to ask for advice regarding the welding of the footwell. Plug or seam or both?
Any views on that?
Also i had to chop off a rotton part of the inner footwell and need to make a repair there So any advice regarding that repair will be welcome. because that is my next job,
Cheers Peter.

Hi Peter. That is some lovely looking work. I will put a watch on the thread.
Looks like we are both at a similar stage with bulk heads. My next job will be door pillars and footwells. I'm pretty nervous about it so i'm glad to be able to look at how others tackle it.
Here's mine in case. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/steves-unexpected-series-3-rebuild.292955/page-21
Keep going.

Hi Steve,
I think seeing how others tackle the job is very helpful .either on this site or you tube.
I dont have as much tin worm as you which makes it an easier job. After finishing all the repair work I intend getting it sandblasted along with the radiator panel plus a few other parts. Returned to me for final inspection before galvanising. Well that is the plan anyway.
I am currently making a new stiffener for the floor panel, more holes to drill/ punch out and plug weld.

Sorry. I'll have a go at a bulkhead. Technology, not so much.
