Got these today.
Offered them up to the sills and the fit is very good.

I wonder who made them?
They seem familiar.

It certainly looks like Tom knows how to form a very nice repair panel. But surely there should be a drain hole, or maybe even a couple (one either side of the jacking pad hole) to help prevent the original problem from reoccurring...??

If you were going to do that, then you would be better off treating the panel with cavity wax.......did you not investigate why these rot at this point when you were doing the tourer sills?

If you did, you would know why that wouldn't help, and indeed would cause more trouble than it would prevent
