This pic tho, it might just look it. But doesn't look like that is much paint/protection inside the cross member where the ic cut out is.. Might just be worth a look just in case..
You and me both mate! :)Quote:

Once its all back together I will be applying a lot of waxoil into the crossmember/cutout area to keep it sound for years to come. ;)
David... cheers and thanks for the speedy delivery of the plates!
Southie and the rest of you guys...... Thanks a lot! :) :)
Nick.
Quality of work is real nice Nick.
I am shocked however that you havent welded up around the TCA mountings!
Cheers Paul, You've lost me their though fella.... were exactly do you mean? On the arm its self around were the bush goes through or at a point on the car? Tie bar to crossmember end their are plates at the back and underside etc. Im intrigued to know if you do things a little different etc! :)Quote:

Yeah I can see why people may weld round their. Its not something that would concern me with it being stitched and plated everywhere else that it should have been but I do see your point Paul cheers.
Nick.
I've welded all the 3 seams where Paul have circled too. Force from the arms moving was my thinking...
And yeah getting in the cross member is a ****. I taped all the top holes and then sprayed till it ran out the bottom ones..lol
