Post by: Moon on July 06, 2006, 10:51:34 AM

G'day all, i am going to be replacing both outer sills on my fc sedan in the VERY near future, & have checked out the great info in here on the ways to go about it, but I will also have to replace passenger side inner sill to as it seems very sad :'( near it's front end. I was hoping for some enlightening ;D directions on best way how to go about it.
All help appreciated :)
Moon.

Moon, the front of the inner sill is difficult because it has a special shape. Inner sill replacements are available but are just a straight section of steel.
You will have to take off the subframe and carefully remove the remains of the inner sill and manufacture a replacement piece from a suitable piece of steel.
Also attached to the inner sill is a crush section where the subframe bolt goes through. You will probably have to remake this piece as well.
The very bottom of the inner sill at the front is where the mudguard bolts on so it is important that you get this section exactly right.

Regards Ken

also look through some of the rebuilds in members photos like this one http://www.fefcholden.org.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=album;action=display;num=1081241151;start=80,
eventually you might find something as this part nearly always needs to be replaced.
