Any half decent welder type will be able to fabricate a piece to replicate that easily. No need for chopping bits off other turds. I've sorted worse, and I am pretty crap .

I will go down that route then Pete, as I now have a tame welder.

There's some gape in my build thread for you btw

Easy fix that Ross, have you had the carpet up yet? The seam across the footwell in that area is a favourite and usually goes hand in hand with what you have there
