Repair panel availability for MOT

Post by dplum »

Just got back from MOT on my 1988 1.9petrol camper and it failed on a small corroded section of the nearside sill.
I'm going to do the welding myself, but just wondered if anyone knows if there is a repair panel available anywhere for this section as it looks like it will be pretty hard to fabricate a section otherwise! its right in the corner near the front post and step for the sliding door. its shown where marked yellow in the photo.

took the door seal off for the photo - it is there and in good nick!
ah right thanks i'll have a look for the door seal section.
i guess i could patch it/fill it in, but it would be god to do a repair that will last and not need doing again in another year.
