I made a repair panel for both sides 65 mm x 15 mm with 45° angle. Reinforced with a 2mm squared tube of 20×40 mm

First, the tube and panel are painted with anti corriosion.  20140610_161800

The tube is in the middle of the panel.20140610_161912

This goes all along the inner sill.20140610_161924

Some fine adjusting are required for better fitting.20140509_124720

Instead of the commercial angled nut holder, I made a 5 mm plate, drilles the two holes, welded the nuts and then the plate to the tube.20140523_182313

The inner mounting section I have bought from Robey, They only come in a pair of inner and outer mounts.
