Removed the bulkhead outrigger bolt, seized solid so lots of heat, a lump hammer and a pair of mole grips eventually moved it. Then cut off the outrigger, shock horror, rust on a grand scale so have cut out the rust and cleaned it up ready for a new plate then new outrigger. Oh, I also found a mouse nest in the chassis !
