==Rear chassis capping plate==

The capping plates on the main rear cantilevered chassis sections are on the bottom, the formed sections being quite heavy top-hats with a thinner filelr spotted across the flanges underneath.

If water continually gets into these sections, the capping plate will eventually rust, the water can also get trapped betweeb the flanges and the spot-welds.
