Look familiar mate,

I am part way through cutting out that (number 6) chassis rail at the mo, have also cut out halve the floor for access to the top of the rail.

Got the rail from AH Schofields it comes in two halves.

Mine came in two halves from VWH too. Thickest metal I've ever seen in a repair panel 8)

It wasn't quite the same shape as the original though :lol:
