It was easier than the other side as it was way more solid - which was a good thing.
We removed the old closing plate, it was in good order except for one corner.
We changed the whole thing anyway.....easier than patching due to it's complex shape.
After we attached the closing panel Matt set about dressing the welds.
You can see the good penetration of the welds on the inside where the heater channel is joined to the closing plate.
(the burnt paint in an arc on the right hand side of the repair panel).
Good penetration....he he he!
I think we made a nice looking job - just the penetration marks to clean, a bit more dressing and the job's a fish!
Penetration marks.....fnarr! fnarr!
Might well get the door-posts in next week.
It's coming together now.......
