Series 2a Chassis Repairs
« on: January 27, 2006, 18:56:45 »
Anyone know whay thickness steel the 2a (1964) chassis were made from as I need to plate the top of the drivers side dumb iron this weekend.

Ive got some 2mm but Im not sure if this will be too thin as its gone around the top bumper bolt holes.

You can buy the replacement dumb irons and go that route if you want
Kev

'91 stretch Discovery 200 Tdi
Hybrid for running round (got to go now)
Srs 3 Lightweight petrol (got to go)
Srs 3 Lightweight petrol, runabout

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

If you do go for the fabrication route, it would be around 2-3mm thick.
