Cutting Chassis Rails. What's involved

The way Brumberty approached this would have to be the simplest, neatest and overall easiest way to do this. Ways I have seen this achieved in the past include BFHing it, cutting the rail out completely and a new box section being welded in. And a top cut made and then BFH'd with no welds. Brumberty's method would result in a very neat and no obvious changes made rail that would easily be made to pass any engineers requirements.

Well done for original thinking. If we had a 'thanking' function on the board, I'd use it.

Whoah there Ben, I was working under specific and very accurate instructions from the BYB man himself.

Thanks for the nice words. but I put only put Brett's word into pictures.
Gracias Amigo.

It has worked a treat though.

I live near the sea and rust proofing is Vital to me for the long term; this WB was built for keeping.

Back to the frame rails, it took 2 3/4 hours with the correct instructions and tools.
Anyone who is going for it, please PM me and I will shoot you through some Hi res shots.

Matt.

This thread might be worth adding to the tech manual, or at least a sticky perhaps. Good info!
