Hi all, I've posted some photos of the inner sills I had pressed by one of my customers. They are not exact to the original, but they come close. He said he would do some more sets if the demand is there. If you are interested pm me and I'll let him know.
Thanks Jim
i would love some inner sills that have the original circles stamped into them.
the current repro ones are just flat.
I have actually cut a top and bottom die in the waterjet but its only half done was going to press them out in one hit on our 80 ton press brake in 1.6 zincseal ?
I was only doing it for me and a friend not trying to cut in on you or anything.
Pete
I'd be interested to see yours Pete.
Sounds like you have the setup for a top finish.
Regards
Alex
No problems Pete, alls fair in love and war. As I said, I thought I would ask the question!!. Go right ahead with yours, I have no ties with the guy, just thought I would put it out there for the forum members. If you can press the whole thing with the front bend I recon you woluld do ok.
Regards Jim
As close to the originals as we can get I reckon.
Appreciate people all working together to get the best result.
John
just an out there thought.......................
would there be any advantage having these pressed in a thicker guage metal - wondering if it would help with stiffness for modified cars with larger engines??????
M@
Ill press a few lengths in 1.6zinc and see what the turn out like.
Me and my mate were going to run 2.5mm zinc folded ones for strength but i suggested we do the stock look as we allready have a chassis rail under there the metal thickness may play havoc fitting the sills back on.
ill make one end longer and blank on one end so the step can be fabricated as one piece its too hard on the press to try press the step in all in one hit as it creates uneven load on the press.
I have a backlog of disc brake adaptors to get out for people hence why i havent been pushing the sell latelly work and familly are first but if they work out they should be a 5 min job each.
pete
Hi Pete if you need a nos set to copy off i have a complete set let me no
regards fatboy
send me some pics and measurements to mallaby@idl.com if you like I dont trust couriers just to see what a full inner sill looks like
I allready have the spacings ect but I would pefer exact measurements (mm)
from a nos set they are like rocking horse poo.
cheers pete

Did anything eventuate from this?... Keen to buy if it did, way better idea than mucking around with parts of second hand rusty crap.
Nothing yet been on holidays.
will have a look when i get down to the car the painter has been trying to get the workshop floor painted so pointless me going down the inners are there.
Ill pull out the stamp at work and see if i have all bits.
Is there Any more word on the inner sills and maybe a price? Cheers
Yes pls.
I'v got inner sills available with the correct circle pressings and drain weep hole pressings
More info please Resto-nut.
Regards
Alex
Love a price as well Resto and postage to WA
Regards
Neil H
I can't fig out how to upload pics from my phone but
There are pics on our Facebook page: Stark Automotive
The pics on our page are of the prototype and do not have the drain hole pressings along the edge
The current stock are full length allowing you to make the subframe mount area at the front of the sill if required
Pm for price and info
Moderators pl notify me if there is a problem
Look similar too the ones I had made for my sedan.

bit xxy
They look the goods, all you have to do is cut & bend the front mounting sections. Might get a pair for the ute.
Jim
Pete What about now
Question is who made them ??
If you are talking about the ones that I advertised on here an eBay
I make them
Have sold out at the moment and will do another batch soon
Sweet .. only Stark Automotive I could find on Faceache was in England !!
Look again :)

Look again :)
Anyone had success finding info for Resto-nut's repro inner sill panels? I can't find stark automotive on fb. Looking for a pair for my EK van.
Cheers
Clay
I am on Facebook 😬
A new batch of inner sills are being done at the moment but these will still be at least a month away as I have changed the tooling and stamping press ( making new dies at the moment)
Also I have now incorporated the front subframe mount pressed area instead of just leaving it flat for you to fabricate
The new front section is a mixture of pressings and welded seam
I can also supply just the subframe mount area for those of you who just want to graft it into your original inner sills
Ye please Resto-nut.

Hey Resto-nut, that sounds great. That front section of the inner sill has never been done before and is one of the first areas to rust ::)
Maybe you could also contemplate the bottom of the A pillar to complement it?
Ken
If I had a good section ( not rusted away ) to pattern I could make the lower a pillar no problem

Yep that was a long time ago
I no longer have that ute in my shop to take patterns off
I have just added some pics ( on Facebook) of the sill to subframe pocket at the end of the inner sills this will be available as ether a complete inner sill or just the end for those who aren't replacing the entire inner sill
