That piece pictured is all that's really needed, and I speak from experience, I note that he even goes to the trouble of stamping the recessed jacking pad area. I can do the welding it's fabricating the section that's my problem.

Or perhaps DMGRS can do a deal with Tom if he's not interested in shipping them. There is certainly a need and a market.

Here's hoping

Hi Mike, I've spoken to Tom about your suggestion & his reply was that in future, that's the way to go for him. He's going to make a few sets for anyone to fit themselves as he's too busy with his large projects. So in future, not sure when, the sill panels will be available, you'll just have to find a welder

Great news thanks for bothering. No trouble finding a welder as I can weld myself, not to Tom's standard but reasonable enough to make repairs almost invisible.

May well send him a mail myself and get first in line, or if I can get more local members interested perhaps we could organise a group buy and split the shipping.

Thanks again

Hi Ronnie.
That is very interesting that he will supply individual persons, that way it will keep the middle man out of it, so the price could be good for us, there is no middle man having is slice of the cake.

Incredible great stuff.

My word! - that is fantastic beautifully crafted workmanship

You can see why I subcontracted my old man's tourer sill repairs to Tom, this it the type of long term repair that needs to be carried out if you plan to keep your car.

Excellent workmanship

Steve,

Good perhaps for the UK owners, but the reason I mentioned DMGRS in my earlier post is my fear of postage costs and I know DMGRS have good rates, much better than anyone who uses the post office will get. All too often in the past I've found what I wanted at a good price eg. Jezzer1's rear light seals, but the cost of postage is sometimes ridiculous - often more than the purchase price!

Anyway, I've mailed Tom expressing my interest whenever he finds time, I've not asked about the price as I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount for his quality of work, I just hope that the cost of postage isn't prohibitive.

Regards

Mike

We need to get Tom an apprentice to train up as he's got bigger projects on the go. Top quality workmanship is not easy to find!

Excellent work indeed.

The only problem with that is you wouldn't get the quality of Toms repair work on the jacking pad area and inside the sill cavity.

I guarantee that 99% of garages would just clash on the replacement section.
