| Really happy that the drive shafts, fulcrum plates and side gears all have very little wear at all. | |

| Finish welding both pans in... Then had to remove all the little brackets from the old pans and weld them on the new. Throttle pedal... Battery strap clamp / trim rest... N/S trim rest... Then fabricate the battery strap hold down thread and pan reinforcement piece... Then weld that in... | |

I use two standard 4 1/2" 115mm grinders. The first fitted with a standard grinding disc to take the weld down to just above the surface and the second grinder fitted with a soft backing bad and either 24 or 36 grit disc's. Like this... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Backing-Pad-115mm-Angle-Grinder_W0QQitemZ310157970721QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM?hash=item4836db0d21&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Unless its in a really hard to get to area thaen I use a air belt sander with 40 grit belts.

I'm going to cut out several different shape plates from mild steel plate and bond them on / over holes with silicone. Then when it comes back just pull them off and clen up around the areas. | |
