Post by: clbarclay on March 28, 2007, 21:46:51: What size box section (width, height, thickness) are you using for you sills?

I've just set about mine this afternoon. The inside is looking very naked ready for cutting and welding, but that will be a week and a half away due to these things called holidays :roll: . Enough time to finalise the design.
