Managed to get some more done on this, drilled the last of the holes for the bumper mounts (forgot the 10mm bolt!!!)
The started on the steering box brace, after reading write ups on various sites about how others have done it I decided to run a brace from chassis rail to chassis rail incorporating all the 10mm bolt holes under the rails for the sway bar and the bash plate mounts on both rails, this required a lot of measuring but managed to get all of them to line up, a lot easier when the chassis section is upside down on a bench!!!




I decided to make the actual brace out of 25x3 angle and then use a clamp attached to this rail to support the box....



And then a quick zap with the mig....
