Back to the cab III

Another job that needed tackling was to repair some rust in the can floor just under the handbrake lever.


Again, the old cab supplied a suitable patch



Drop the 'new' panel in place :



Draw round it and cut out :

Weld and dress with a flap wheel

This was NOT one of my better efforts! I got a bit over enthusiastic with the flap wheel which made the edges of my patch very thin and then I burned through when adding some more weld. It doesn't show in the photo but the underside is a bit gnarly. Lucky it's only in the wheel arch and can easily be hidden.
