Received my new sill bits from a guy called Steve who was recommended by Steams and Sussex Stu. All is good and the parts he supplies are not available oem. For £290, what he supplies is rear arches, lower rear wing outer & inner section and they appear to be bloody good and offer up well, however the main section tucking under front wing was not supplied. He did tell me what he manufactures and supplies, I was at work and not giving the conversation the attention that it deserved. Although I need these I also need the main sections tucking under the front wing. I possibly can make my own inner section where required using thin wall box section cut down with 4" micro discs to give me some angle. Anyway, any advice on the main sills would be greatly appreciated, many thanks Neil

cant help with your question, but was 290 for both sides or just one? as im in need of some, though MJP can get rear sills.

I got a few sill bits from Mjp eastern autos, give them a ring.....

Hope this helps :)

Both sides mate and they do look good. I didn't really need the arches but if I cut through inner, outer etc, I bet there's corrosion in the seam

Nice pics mate and a good insight into what I have to come. I have the sections you show in your blog but still require the front main bits. I phoned up MJP Eastern and was quoted £360 with the VAT for both main sills, which will bring the total to a staggering £650. The inner sections with the holes were also available for a £100 or so each. Which to me seems ridiculous for a bit of tin with a few holes, so I will fabricate this bit myself armed with a pair of gilbows and some 16 guage. Although I'm a metalworker anyway, I must say the task ahead seems a little daunting, I'm sure it will be okay though when I get going.

That,s alot of dosh for a few bit,s of tin !! some suppliers of aftermarket panels used to list various " universal " sill sections of varying dimensions and lengths , i don,t know whether thats still true as it was a fair few years ago when i saw them , a good motorfactors should be able to tell you if such a thing is still available bud HTH
