Good to hear Tom's making these again, I'm sure they'll benefit overseas members Mike, and many others

thank you for the photo, I could not work out where they went and looked too short to be a full sill

It will also save Tom getting phone calls asking how much they are.

I'll check with Thomas first not least as it seems the right thing to do I don't know the UK postage rate and update as soon as I hear anything.

Keep well

Very swift answer from Thomas - "I am doing these for £50 per side or £95 for the pair"

Don't know about UK postage, only that postage to Sweden was very reasonable.

Keep well

As an aside, a lot of the stamps and dies for the body panels were dumped in the sea and used for anchoring.

Thinking out loud here but would he do a repair for use ahead of the rear section? It should be a bit more straightforward to do than these.

I have a nasty feeling I may need a couple for the Tourer if he does.

He told me how he’d do it by flanging the old sill and welding in the new section and then treat the joint from behind which many don’t do so stores up trouble down the line with corrosion coming through again from behind.
I'm guessing he would treat the area from behind by removing the chrome strip ?
