Is this even possible? if so, who fancies the job? I would also like a diagonal welded in the rear, as it doesnt currently have one.

Normally those thick plates are "washers" that fit the other side of the floor pan to the feet....

as far as i'm aware, you won't need to weld those plates on, bolting them through the cage>body>plate should be fine. I think they are just there for load spreading. |

In the past I have bonded the plates on with stikaflex to stop them moving if you have to unbolt the cage and also stop the water getting between them and the shell.

Edited my original post just in case some pedantic government type comes along and pointed out an extra word might help avoid confusion! Every day is a school day ...........
