Def has filler plate inside the channel section then?

Ignore the swaged holes

as syncrosimon, no filler plate, seems like a combination of both

MY 16 hast got(1989) and neither dose my twin slider 14(1991)
Personaly have never seen these on a syncro.
But i do know that on early syncros they had no extra strengthening around front suspension.

The flanges are the same on all.Flat in the front and flanged from about a 1/4 way all to the back.

Thanks Russ, thats cleared that up then..

Can we forget flanges please, the whole thrust was really the strengthening fillerplate INSIDE the chassis section - sorry, unfort those photos aren't ideal.

Just thought peeps would be interested in the filler, who's noticed, them that 'av 'em, the that don't
