      @PWCV-YT  4 місяці тому

      @@csakbencee Ah, I see what you are asking now, It should be spotwelded in the 2 thickness area and in the 3 thickness area. It's important to spotweld near to where the subframe mounting bolts go through because if they are not pulled tight together they will distort as the bolts tighten which will crack the paint and lead to rusting in that structural area

    I have a R. H. front nose section from a early (59 or 60) mini mk 1 assembly.
    It lacks The separate "A" panel and resembles the new magnum
    panel, I guess BMC decided to make the body more repairable
    after a frontal crash by adding the separate "A " panel.

      They were both rot boxes ! I had loads of minis in the day and mk1 escorts, both over rated in my opinion but I did learn how to gas weld long before mig welders were available and made a fortune every weekend welding sills and wings etc, I would get my oxy and acetylene changed at the local scrap yard, there were regular customers for welding at mot time , people would even have their exhaust welded up !
