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

If it is within 30cm then i think it would fail. Hi Kev-it's where you have the door seal that comes down and over the wheel arch and close to the rear seat so i assume it's close to the bottom seat belt mounting point.

Sounds like it then, wern't sure if it was rot near a stress point or sharp edges protruding out at the side, as said either one will cause you grief

Looks like a bit of plating to be done then

I've just done the passenger side on mine this weekend.  It's quite straight forward, I spent more time stripping the trim out and painting and sealing after and re-assembling than I did making the plates and welding them in
