they are welded on the edges to the inner wings, to the light supports and to the centre bar (runs up the length of the rad).

TBH is its only rotten on one side prob easier (unless you know someone or can do welding) to derust, clean off and build up using fibreglass.

My slam panel all round my lights were totally rotten - but welds were still solid as was basic frame. Just cleaned it up and made fibreglas structure - totally solid!

Personally I'd recommend having the whole panel replaced, if its rotten in the corners it'll be bad elsewhere.

Get some piccies up.
