plating up front chassis rails

[dan23]

my front chassis rails have started to rot were they meet

i guess i will have to use some thick plate to repair them how thick does the plate have to be

does anyone have any pics of any that have bee plated

[burgo]

any pics of this sad rot?

Just plate over it.1-1.5mm should be fine, i did my dads corsa rails(both sides) with 1.2mm iirc, and they passed mot fine.

[Sturge]

Use 1.6mm for strength, will be no problem

Just trim out the bad bits and plate over with 1 or 1.2mm, that should be enough for it. Mine were actually like that underneath all the seam sealer that I forced in through the holes!
