Inner Sill Measurements


Best Answer Ben_O , 15 January 2015 - 01:21 AM

as above.

 

A little tip, Put a small amount of blu-tak on the slinging bracket flanges with them bolted to the inner sill then position the outer sill on.

 

Once in position, push in around the slinging brackets before unbolting them and removing the sill.

 

if you are careful, the brackets will have stuck to the inner sill allowing you to mark their position, then simply remove them, remove the blu-tak and then you can place them back using the marks you made before.

Does anyone have the measurements for the inner sill, Where to weld the jacking points and the front and rear sill to floor reinforcing brackets? (the ones in the pictures)

Use the outer sill to position them.
