Phak1, how are you going to attach the light gauge c shaped metal at your inner cowl for the rubber around the door opening?
I didn’t get that far as I have to locate and buy the windless c channel. I see you can buy the entire channel, but I only need about 6” on each side. Any suggestions?

My intention was to plug weld the hole before I installed the but I didn’t have enough scrap steel and hadn’t located a place to buy 18 gauge steel. The place I go to didn’t have any cut pieces if 18 gauge. I could order a full sheet but would have to pay for the sheet plus a packaging fee (supplier would need to sandwich it between two sheets of other material to protect the single sheet during transport). It would have cost close to two hundred total and then I would have a 6’x8’ piece of scrap I would have no use for.
At this point, the jury is out. I could just put in the factory plug as it’s going to be covered anyway or plug the hole when I get some sheet metal. With so much metal work ahead if me the factory plug is looking good, but my perfectionist side may win out!
I have since found a sheet metal supply and fabricator that is going to order a full sheet, cut a 2’ x 4’ piece and cut and bend the piece I need to replace the bottom flange on my seat riser. The cost, 65-70 dollars. I’ll also have enough to repair my splash pan and any other small repairs needed.
