A post repair

Post by tedmcedd »

I've started my mk2! :shock:

The Drivers A-pillar is non existent.... The Passenger is sorta there, but has been hacked about... Has anyone got some pictures of how this is assembled!? The inner A-panel, I'm guessing doesnt weld to this panel:

Does the inner wing weld to that, then the Inner A to the inner wing??

Thanks

Ed

How the A-pillar is assembled you can see on the pics in my restoration thread

Just scroll down. I hope this answers some of your questions.

No, the illustrated panel is welded to the outer A-panel. The inner wing is welded to the inner A-panel. Then inner and outer A-panels are welded at the seam.

The rear leading edge of the inner wing on my traveller was welded to the panel shown in your pic Ted.
I double checked on my MK 2 S and that has the tell tale spot welds showing through under the paint.
You can see the row of spot welds in this thread, hopefully.
