Hi all, bank holiday meant I'm off but steel suppliers are not!
I went to the supplier to buy stuff for the floors. I'd already taken a full size Indiana jones style crayon rubbing of the chassis and drawn out the door and cuts so I knew how much to buy.
Then I got to the steel place to be told minimum order $300. (Aud) not fazed at this point I asked if cutting could be included. Yes. So I asked if they could lazer cut and again yes. So I'm getting floors lazer cut to size for no more than the cost is otherwise be charged for the steel !
Lesson in not stopping the negotiation even when minimum agreements are achieved!
I also tried my hand to welding new front supports on. I used 3mm steel and drilled and tapped holes for the hinge mount points as you can see.
Not bad for a first job but did use 3 rods doing it!
