Ok, got half an hour with CEO this afternoon while there was blue skies and finished work..
so got under her to look at the nearside front out rigger section..
Sadly I NEED to report, if you are looking at a car, or yours is rotton and the FRONT Jacking plate is loose, then expect the worse!!
The Jacking plate is mounted onto the inside box section inside the cill area, on the side that "Forms the Door Lower front Frame" is the best way to describe it..
However, firstly, when originally fitted the plate is a heafty thicker piece of metal, and it is also NOT treated for rust... being thick they take time to rust away, however, if the even of the outrigger has rotted away and opened up, the rot then attacks the area around the jacking plate - this causes yet another issue, and you can expect the floor to be in a state of disintigration.
Inside Passenger Footwell:
The Rust "Patch" on the left is actually whats left of the jacking plate, the actuall Cill Wall has completely gone!
Note the screw driver pokeing in from under the car!
So, safe working, the seat and cill plastic trim needs to come away to get the carpet back to avoid any fire.
