    Yeah. It’ll be next week though. Do you want a piccy of the ‘hole’ where it goes or a piccy of the new inner wing? I got the inner wings from Froggarts. Have a looksee on their website

    Kev..... that would have been good, but tis all in. The welding is shyte though, wind kept blowing gas away and ending up with porous welds. Took me all day to put these two patches in. Grind back, weld, grind back , weld. There are still a few pin holes, but that’s what sealer is for !!! I...

    Auf Weidersein has a great thread going on his Disco, he put replacement seats in his. If I remember he bolted the new seats onto a 5mm sheet of aluminium and then bolted the aluminium sheet onto the Disco mounts......or something like that.

    Bit more cutting ...... On the CAD and a few bashes in the vice later Not perfect but it’ll do me. Once welded and cleaned up, shouldn’t look too bad. Hope it’s fine tomorrow. Should I get a new window seal ? The old one is full of rust.
