Hi,
I'm replacing the toe board on my 1984 mini and once restored, I'm considering fitting solid subframe mounts. I'm aware that, to do this, I need to add some additional strengthening to the toe board subframe mounting area, however can't find anything definitive, as to what this reinforcement should look like.
The Heritage panel I'm fitting already has a 'reinforcement' parch around this area - I'm assuming this isn't sufficient?
If not, I've got some questions :
how big does the reinforcement panel need to be?
what thickness - 0.9mm?
is is located on the toe board only, or should it bridge floor panel?
Do you add this on the inside or enginebay side of the panel?
thanks and sorry if this has been asked before - happy to be point to previous posts
Cheers
Chris
