Anyone know distance from rear I beam floor support to the next rear section back please?

Just a little plate grafted in today, and a trail fit of b post with cargo door on.
Can figure out what to trim for sill to fit nice. Klassic fab inner post or the Wolfsburg west sill (strengthener fitted already)

[Griff55]

Made a piece for the walkthrough seat back and centre before fitting the top hat.
All going good until the gas decided to run out

Yesterday was a good day! Spot welder arrived and got a couple of panels on. B pillar was a little fiddly trying to find out what layers it went on in.
Also welded on sill strenghener and spot welded all that had been missed previously

[Griff55]

Welded a new piece on the n/s seat back today and got the front top hat sitting in the right place. Hopefully get that and a few other bits welded in tomorrow.

Looks great - your metalwork skills are fab!

I wouldn’t go that far mate, bordering on ok compared to some on here!! Thanks anyway
A few things finished off this morning and I think I can say I’m finally done with the bloody chassis
Got Wolfsburg west floors delivered this morning too so trail fit of them, seem very good quality. One thing I will say is, if you are fitting these to your bus, don’t cut away the lip at the rear of floor because they don’t come with the return edge for welding. Leave a piece there to plug to I guess.
Anyhow, few bits put in place for pics. I’m happy to be on panel work now

Cut the long side off today only to find a battered wheel tub . A bit of heat and hammer n dolly action and it’s looking ok
