Replacement of Front Doorsteps

Before we could replace the doorsteps, we had to do a minor repair to the bulkhead on the n/s/f.

First of all, take your measurements and make marks front and rear, as reference points. Then drill out all spot welds, clean up with linisher and happy days.

On the o/s/f B-pillar, there are captive nuts, top and bottom, for the cargo doors. On Micky the lower captive plate which has to be able to move up and down, and in and out for adjustment, has long gone and was armed with two gnarly nuts and bolts, which came through the bulkhead behind the doorstep. We have fabricated a new captive plate, exposed the back of the B-pillar to insert it back to its original design. Once the plate's in place, we can seal up the B-pillar with a new plate.
