I have done, I have a new back panel, but was going to fabricate the main rails, but the more I looked at the chassis, it would be as easy to just make new chassis rails all the way through - just need the weld-in bushes. I was thinking of salvaging the originals but they will probably shrink when welding.

Thanks for the reply's so far, The two chassis I have, both have had the dumb irons replaced hence no info transferred, but chassis were a replaceable item? I did contemplate replacing the rear rails, but the material I would be welding to wasn't great hence the dilemma Even if anyone has any info regarding bore sizes for the machined components?

Hi All, I have a series 3 SWB Petrol with a knackered chassis. I bought another chassis with a view of repairing it but it needs a lot of work. As an ex-sheet metal worker / plater I am seriously considering fabricating one out of sheet steel. Does anyone know of any suppliers that manufacture / sell the weld-in suspension mounts, damper tubes and steering relay tubes? As I'm skint there is no way I can afford the £2500 for a spanking new galvanised chassis, Anyone offer any guidance regarding sourcing these items? Regards \Dave
