    Thanks for all the replies actually these are my sliders Tim just had a camera on hand lol.As Tims Dad will be doing all the welding its up to him how they get done lol.But the cut and bend method sounds the easiest.Hiding a weld with a grinder is pretty easy so ill suggest to do that.Im sure Tim will post a heap of pics as they are being made.

    Cheers Matman

    matman, i take it the bit cut out of the SHS is to clear the ''A'' and ''B''pillars on the sill?? if they are invert the cut out bits back into the SHS and re weld. this will save you having to find something to fill the cut out.

    also, keep at minimum 10mm away from the bottom of the doors. ive seen ones made that are really neat and close to the door line that dont allow the door to be opened when ballanced on a rock or a hi lift.

    cheers phil

    Yes will do with the 10mm gap.And the A & B pillar cut outs ive kept the bits somewhere lol.Otherwise ill put a flat piece in instead so atleast the dirt wont sit in there.
