Hi all, as you know the barge is undergoing some major tlc, including welding of the chassis rails  we have found that the top section of the chassis rail on this side is completely rotten from front to back  Anyone know if you can get this section as a replacement panel? Tried Hadrians but no luck, otherwise it looks like a few long nights fabricating repair sections (any tips?) luckily the sides and lower section is solid, otherwise It may been the end |

bit of 12 gauge - large hammer - vice and loads of banging.
Do it in sections and overlap the joins.
Make sure you cut out all the rust first otherwise it will start all over again.

Do you know what "Nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible c*nt... me.

Cheers guys looks like that's the only option, i notice that there's drain holes on the top section, do I need to put these into the new sections? I'm not after originality just want a nice solid car  |

Would it not be easier to cut and shape a piece of box section? It's what I usually do when making new chassis rails, for the bends just cut 3 sides with a angle grinder and bend then weld.
