Removing jacking points

The semi 'pan is solid and original apart from some replacement jacking points.
One of those is hiding a small amount of rot.














Now I don't like the factory jacking points, never have - they are far too flexible.
I prefer to lift against something solid like the torsion beams.
So I decided to remove them and use some of Matt's discarded panels to fill the gaps.

Repair panel laid over and position marked













Cut on the lines!
Second line is where repair panel will fit to, panel is overlapped and "joggled" or stepped.














new panel in place, requires welding on underside, finishing and dressing back














What a difference a grind makes - after a little dressing with the flap disk
