disco 1 replacement sills

as the old sills were like dust with holes holding it together i needed to get them sorted.

with the help of my mate steve at calendonian sheet metals in inverness i got some 100mm x 60mm, 3mm box section and various of cuts.

each sill is 141cm long.

did a lot of cutting away but did keep most of the original inner sill to weld too.

My welding is a little agrcultural but is effective.

they were easily jacked into place

should be plenty strong enough to take a few knocks.

Looking good!

Gti90 has done exacly the same with his defender... looks like this could become popular!!

Could be the way to go if your sills are rotten anyway

Hi thats the way i'm going as well but with 120 x 60 box section then weld 50 x 50 box to make rock sliders out of it

by eck that will be beefy!

Nothing going to damage that way to go

Aye i also got my box from calendonian sheet metal, and i took half of a great length of box that he was keeping for some1 in a discovery, now i no who that person was our landrovers are closer than we think! its good steel and well priced too, very helpfull and cut the bit i wanted to size, cant fault them. ile be back sometime for alot of either channel or box or even plate for a rear xmember, to house a winch and be strong. really strong. the sliders look really good too, keep up the good work, cheers.

aye that would be the bit i didnt need. it was good of them to order 7m and i just took 4m cut to the lengths i needed. so our old landys are almost like blood relatives now.
