MOT regulations now state that welds must be continuous, so in effect a seam weld for replacement sills.

Since when ?

Oringinal replacement panels can be fixed using the same method used in the factory, full stop.

ONLY patches and repair panels need seem welding.

so what if i get a non original replacement sill?

can i spot weld this?

[stormduck]

It should be the same panel shape fella, in theory at least!

[miniboo]

well thats what i have so i think spot welds will be fine. plus i still dont get how you seam weld the edge of a sill anyway.

plus how will they know if is an original panel or not?

all painted up and undersealed etc

When i replied i was thinking of the underside of the sill not the doorstep side - didn't think of that A seam would look messy there!

Even underneath the original sill is only spot welded.
