Rear Offside Sill






This was a relatively simple piece to fabricate and sits at the very bottom of the photos above. The outer sill had been pre-drilled to allow plug welds on the outer edge of the fabrication. 


I used 1.0 mm rather than 0.8mm steel sheet a) because of the ease of form and b) to add additional strength. 



The panel was then stich-welded  to form a continuous weld  to the vertical inner sill plate and floor and then plug welded to the outer sill plate. By using strategically placed damp cloths and short section stich welds, the work was completed without any panel distortion.
