1967 Sill front end to inner wing/floor panel detail !!!

Post by trevorhp »

Hi all,
Does anyone have a picture of the correct detailing of the junction between the outer sill, front end, and the inner wing?
The overlap of the inner wing to the floor is a horizontal spot welded seam which continues out to join the right angled end of the outer sill.....all 4 of mine are flattened from misuse, so not sure what it normally looked like and can't seem to find a picture on the web.

I am looking for a picture of the transition from the horizontal to the vertical !!!! :?:

(I am more familiar with the transition from me being vertical to me being horizontal, working on racecars and alcohol usually being the cause...oh! and sometimes at my age, I just fall over for no apparent reason) :D

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks tp

This photo of a stripped unwelded Mk1 shell might help Trevor, not sure if later shells were any different but I do remember my '65 original shell was the same as this.

Hi Pete,
That's what I had hoped it would look like ......easy fix.... a pair of pliers should do it. It's not a pretty detail but ...hey, whatever it takes.
The collective power of mini owners triumphs once again.
Many thanks
