One for the MOT chaps!
I need to get my new toy (the 300TDi Disco) through the MOT. One patch of tin worm is on the bulkhead/footwell area on the drivers side, I assume that it is "fail" because of its proximity to the pedal box (there is similar rot on the passenger side, but it hasn't been recorded as a fail).
Now, there are no repair panels available for this area, so I plan to patch it with plain steel, but the original is "ribbed" (not for extra pleasure :-) but for strength I assume), but when I plate it I will be using plain steel. Will I need to use a thicker steel than the original to make up for the ribbing, or would the same thickness be OK?
What is the view of the MOT testers amongst us?
Cheers
Peter
