Hi all
I'm a way off yet but when I come to cutting out the rust, how do I know how much I can take before I need a chassis brace? I'm planning on a rotisserie approach which i think will mean that the chassis will be suspended from each far end, therefore putting the most leverage on the weakest spot, ie, the floor and sills. Do I just go straight for braces? It feels like that makes the most sense but wondered if anyone had any advice. Cheers! Stoddy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Bracing is the way to go. For "major" repairs, it's required. For small(er) repairs, it's a great insurance policy.
Also, while making your own is great practice (if you need practice), I prefer to spend my time doing the work. If that's your case, too, save time and get the Tangerine Racing adjustable chassis brace kit. http://www.tangerineracing.com/tools.htm @ChrisFoley makes great stuff!
