Has anyone done this? I was wondering if the car requires them for MOT purposes? This type;  |

If it's not there it can't be tested ?
i allways remove em off me cortinas, they are just rust traps and usually collapse when used anyway, i just carry a trolly jack.

Cheers mate. One of them was knackered and had diseased the floor, and I have the bottom section/jp off to repair atm and just thought why bother? Rust traps as you say, and they look curse word! Thanks. |

I don't think they are test items. But if you cut them out of the sill and put a patch in where they where make sure you seam weld it all the way around otherwise it could fail. Personally I always jack off subframe/chassis anyway.

as far as i know, they are not an m.o.t requirement. i used to cut them off my 340 and 360, as like you say they are rust traps. and both passed no problem . could get funny on the welding if its not up to scratch though?

definitely not a MoT requirement. If everything is solid and safe you should have no problem.
