Worth a go!

Sorry mate I don't know. can you borrow a Vernier calliper and measure the size?

Looking good

Daytona on a mk1

So would I, no point in making extra work for yourself

I would also recommend a servo - just in case

Cheers Col

Okay good, what thickness do you think would be appropriate?

I recently spotted a small area on the offside chassis rail that looked like it had bulged out a bit. The area is just forward of the engine cross member mount on the vertical surface on the inside of the engine bay. On investigation there is a section of approximately 6 inches x 2 inches that needs repairing. I have cut the bad bit out and realised that section is in two layers. Would it be suitable to butt weld in one thicker piece as to get in two thinner pieces is going to be a lot more difficult. I am fairly handy with a mig-welder as I have done a reasonable amount of welding in the past. Paul

Exactly Vista

You are right, the sender should be block side of the thermostat. Where it is you won't get a reading until the thermostat opens - not ideal Paul

Looks like a more modern version of the old 6 clock dash

That's a shame, I find those sort of problems interesting Paul

Did you discover the problem? Paul

My thoughts would be as you said, fit the outer sill first so that everything lines up correctly, then fettle the floor to match. Hope that helps. Paul
