Title: Inner sill with original circles pressed in? Post by: Ute-opia on February 07, 2012, 01:59:17 PM Hi! I was told by my mechanic that I needed to replace my LH inner sill but went to rare spares and the repro piece doesn't have the circles pressed into it. Would anyone know if there is a more authentic repro available on a retail basis, or should I cut mine out and take it to a fabricator for a one-off?
thanks very much Ute-opia Title: Re: Inner sill with original circles pressed in? Post by: fcwrangler on February 07, 2012, 04:08:55 PM I'm in the same boat, as far as I know, the repos are just flat. I've had a mate try to press them in, but the panel just kept bending up so he said it was to hard unless you have the original pressings and the press to do it in. So it looks like the flats are the only way to go.

Post by: zulu on February 07, 2012, 05:10:39 PM I had some circles made up to be tacked or welded on, but I never bothered to use them, they are in the shed somewhere, if you get stuck I'll have a look for them Gary Title: Re: Inner sill with original circles pressed in?

I for one would be very interested in purchasing a set of inner sills that also looked right. Very happy that people are making repros but would be even better if they could match original(made in 1956) need to find someone with a big enough press here's hoping Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: Inner sill with original circles pressed in?

As you can see in the pic there is 2 diff sized pressed circles,this could be the man for the job, good luck, ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: Inner sill with original circles pressed in? Post by: Ute-opia on February 08, 2012, 11:53:19 PM thanks guys........fatboy, where are you located?......my father in law is a fitter&turner/bolier maker so I could either take a NOS one and ask hime to ask a fabricator friend or if fatboy is too far away, i could try to cut the good one out and do that and its mirror, assuming there's a difference (the rare spares repro looks to b all of 2 folds). Once we can find a fabricator who can actually do it, i'll ask him to make plenty!
