Sill -- Jacking points repair options

Had a go at this today. Had a little brain wave on using my rather large vice to straighten the sills. Considering the sills were flat front and back I don't think it's turned out too bad.

As you can see my sills need to stripped back and treated. Would someone confirm what the next steps are? As I have read this thread and the other one floating about, but not certain whether the galfroid can go straight on to the metal once I have scurfed it back with a wire brush and drill.

DINITROL RC 800

Galvafroid Zinc coating

DINITROL 447

Galvafroid paint is designed to go on bare steel. Good work with the vice, that is a good idea.

Thanks Chris, I had the vice lying around and thought I would give it a go. It worked well. Do you agree with Jellybean. Is that the correct steps? Or would you do it differently?

Well done mate great job.

Some pics of mine from Trevor , got some box section made up to prevent them getting crushed again

Can I ask why you chose DINITROL 447 RUBBER BASED BLACK STONE CHIP over the DINITROL 4941 UNDERBODY WAX? Was it just personal preference?

Galvafroid should not be overcoated with materials

containing strong solvents such as chlorinated and aromatic

hydrocarbons, esters and ethers.

DINITROL 447 Stone Chip Protect Super contains no aggressive solvents such as chlorinated hydrocarbons (CFC/CHC), esters and ketones.

Oh ok. Thanks for the info.

I'm doing all the work on my sills myself but just thought if I could get those box sections pre-made it's be handy.

I have no idea what is in the Dinitrol 4941, so maybe the 447 is the safer bet

If it's any interest to anyone I took photos of my roll cage being assembled and they show how the air jack tubes were added.

I was going to 447 over the Grafroid then Dinitrol 4941

I can ask a price if you want some made up

I could probably get some made locally but it won't hurt to get a price please.

You got charged €738 to weld some box section the underside of your car? Lol

Hi Mark

Trevor will email me a price later , will forward it on when I get it

Hi Mark , Trevor said the jacking points are 75 euro each

So €300 delivered? I wonder if there would be enough interest for a Group Buy on these and would it help bring the cost down?

Ok, thanks for the price.

Got my Vice, Dinitrol RC800, Galvafroid Zinc, Dinitrol 447 an Dinitrol 4941 Underbody wax and a free weekend coming up.

Hoping it comes out as good as yours.
