I used them -good- once you get the rot off , i tipped my car on its nose with a engine crane to give good access for welding . Do one side at a time for reference and you will be fine . This is the part i used copied from the web site , fit not bad with fine adjuster [hammer].

HCP Part Number: 91-22-373  
Description:  CHASSIS RPR BY REAR AXLE L/H

Keep posting them pics  :lol:  
   

Cheers…..

 :read: The Haynes restoration manual first ..

P.S. Order all the repair panels you need at the same time from the hadrian stockist and demand a large discount , you will get it from most good car factors .

Panel fitted and primed and undersealed . You can see where the top is welded to the floor and where the rear floor also needed plating near the brake pipe bracket .

Hey its only metal whats there to be scared of!
hey chudd does the panel slip over the studs for the axle? this bit is much stronger than surroundig metal do you leave it in?

Yes clean it up prime etc leave it [if you disturb it you will lose axle position so be carefull] and bolt the new panel up to it so it fits over , make sure your studs are okay first though and start with this panel first as its a great reference point ….. weld away …….

Looking good  :D , your rot is near identical to the rot that was on my car and still you keep finding more and more !! Still at least you wont be bored on these long winter evenings

Cheers………
