My Mk1 Transit's Restoration Project

[Campertess]

wow!!!!!!!

[Luke]

i can measure mine for you but i'm not sure which measurments you need

[malta transit]

Thanks,do please measure it. Is it a formed part or an angle iron, just ciuriosity. Then i'll do what my mind's say so.

[Luke]

ok mate i'll measure mine and do a drawing with sizes and post it here

but im not going to the van till the weekend

[malta transit]

Thanks. No hurray, i do some work on my van only when i feel so, as i prefare surfing this forum which i do daily even if it take me a couple of miniutes sometimes.

Got a couple of pictures today of the stich welds I'v done,+ filled the small pin holes with some filler to smothen up the job. Not bad i think for a first time beginer, the place was very occuard to weld and grind.



These are the photos of the outrigger i managed to save to fabricate like it.





I took this picture to show you the extent of rust which had eaten the outrigger and that's why i need some measurements.
