So glad to have joined the forum...........I'm about embark on the rear outer chassis repairs around the rear stabiliser legs. Stripping the bodywork, internals and flooring is going to be a long job.
However I have welding experience and the time to carry out the work...........sadly at this end of the country (West Cornwall) there are no companies willing to take on the job.

MPH in Cheshire would be my choice, but it's really just too far to go and Jandi in Scotland are obviously even further !!!!....... (I always use them for spares. Sandy and Jean are a delight to deal with, and have very extensive knowledge...Highly Recommended).

I'll let you know how I get on, once the weather improves........70-80 mph gales today !!!

Hi All

Having removed the bed frames etc., I'm down to the floor, but can't figure our whether it is attached to the outer framework, or just uses it's weight to sit there.

I have removed the internal side panels surrounding the area above the floor. Will I need to cut an area of floor out to gain access to the framework, or will it jack up sufficiently to enable the welding of the framework to take place ?????

Obviously I will need to release the outer skin to achieve this.

I hope this makes sense !!!!!

Hi

It looks as though my first reply didn't make the grade !! So here goes again.

This is our second Eriba, the first being a 1995 Pan Fam........we bought the 2001 LMT (540gt) in 2010. Living in the West of Cornwall, most of our trips are out of the county whilst everyone else comes down !!
We did make it to the West Coast of Scotland and the Isles of Mull and Skye...........5" snow on Mull, one week later 86 F (30 C) on Skye, just crazy.

I'm now in the process of repairing the outer framework above the rear legs........sadly a common problem pre-galvanising. Hopefully, once completed, we can venture back up north again.

Any advice on the frame repair would be very welcome.
