New piece welded in. New end caps to be made. Internal dimensions plus flange depth minus material thickness on each side. Then the corners cut out.

   

Used my new folding pliers that I picked up while in England a few months ago. Makes for a quick fold. The last short section was too small so used good old pliers that have the ends ground flat and did it in sections. Takes longer but still works.

   

After spraying the zinc coating on it, it is ready to tap into place. Fully welded in and the drain hole drilled back in the stock spot

   

The other side has these two main areas to fix. Was going to repair just end and the right side of the mount. But then I noticed a bit of rust at the edge of the bracket.

   

So I thought I might as well remove the whole section. Repaired the floor as had pitting along the edge.
