Nigelw Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Have been asked to help a friend out with his Disco, the thing is he cut the door pillar away to fit H/D box section sills, but he didn't brace the pillar before welding it up and now the door gap is major bad, he has had to adjust the door pin out over a centimeter to get it closed. What is the easiest way to get it back in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 If it's that far out, cut and reweld I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Yup, shut the door before re-welding, tack in place, open, close, fully weld, done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Thankfully not my handy work for once But out of pity I took an afternoon off my own project to go and help/advise. It was a case of getting pi55 wet through and cutting it out and getting creative with some thread rod and some off cuts of angle. it was about 14mm out forward and the the door wouldn't shut, but it had also dropped by 20mm too , guess who has been commissioned to do the other side now then Getting busy in my bushmans workshop.

Maverik Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Be careful... I fall into that trap regularly... then you never get time on your own projects... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
