Well there we go.....
A hour of cleaning, lining up, measuring, then measuring again got me where i wanted it....
Then a good 3 hours on the welder later and we have this...
Only managed to plate the top and outside of each chassis rail. I will turn it over or something to plate the underneath and do the other side this week (fingers crossed).
I also ordered a slave cylinder for the gear box, along with new cap arm and leads for the engine. Oh and a water pump for the sj for good measure
