Question for the day: Does anyone know how a new full length heelboard is welded to the load bed?

 

Anyone with links to pictures most welcome.

 

Thanks,

 

Matty

There should be spot welds visable from the top of the load bay. Drill them out all the way along and bobs your uncle!

Bleeding marvellous Ryan knew you would come up with an answer!

Cheers fella... sort it out man you only need to paint it! haha.  ;D

 

Just need to weld this side up then start all over again on the near side. At least I will no what needs to be done this time so should aid progress.

 

Just need some spare cash to get the damn panels.
