Title: reproduction inner sills Post by: fcwrangler on April 28, 2012, 06:05:03 PM 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 Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: Stash on April 28, 2012, 06:35:53 PM i would love some inner sills that have the original circles stamped into them.
the current repro ones are just flat. Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: FCRB26 on April 28, 2012, 07:05:42 PM 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 Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: customFC on April 28, 2012, 10:06:26 PM I'd be interested to see yours Pete.
Sounds like you have the setup for a top finish. Regards Alex Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: fcwrangler on April 28, 2012, 11:01:26 PM 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 Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: Stash on April 29, 2012, 12:03:41 AM As close to the originals as we can get I reckon.
Appreciate people all working together to get the best result. John Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: earlyholdenfan on April 29, 2012, 08:14:13 AM 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@ Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: FCRB26 on April 29, 2012, 08:15:30 AM 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 Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: FATBOY on April 29, 2012, 08:24:41 AM Hi Pete if you need a nos set to copy off i have a complete set let me no
regards fatboy Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: FCRB26 on April 29, 2012, 03:30:42 PM 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 Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: FATBOY on April 30, 2012, 06:16:49 PM Im in canberra for the week will do when im home on friday

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 Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: fcwrangler on April 23, 2015, 10:35:46 PM Look similar too the ones I had made for my sedan.

I can't find stark automotive on fb. Looking for a pair for my EK van. Cheers Clay Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: Resto-nut on May 17, 2017, 01:18:36 PM 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 Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on May 17, 2017, 01:41:17 PM Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: Errol62 on May 17, 2017, 02:29:00 PM Ye please Resto-nut.

Maybe you could also contemplate the bottom of the A pillar to complement it? Ken Title: Re: reproduction inner sills Post by: Resto-nut on May 17, 2017, 05:11:41 PM If I had a good section ( not rusted away ) to pattern I could make the lower a pillar no problem
