Tag Archives: cross bearer

9/4/2020

Today I was able to install the pillar repair section I made yesterday.    Screwed and glued to both the existing remnant of upright and to the boot floor cross bearer and given a coat of primer.

Whilst that was drying I installed the two new gusset plates for the previous pillar repair and bolted them up to the cross bearer and upright.

Finally I made a couple of brackets to reinforce the joint between today’s new section of pillar and the existing part.  These will also connect to the horizontal that joins the vertical at this point.

I now need to make up the gussets for this new piece before I can fix the new perimeter rail section at the bottom of the pillars.
