Shame it’s got a bit rusty. Stuart Bird on FB makes the boot lip sections if you need any. He does a good few other repair sections too if needed Cheers for that I will look for him later. The reason I stopped using it on the road was a bit of rust on an outrigger , dug into it today .

He does the outriggers too👍. When I did mine, one of the outriggers had been plated over 4 times. It was easier to cut the floor out and start again.

	I think I have replaced that outrigger twice already in the time I’ve owned it .

	I made them out of 1.6mm steel. Should last a bit longer.

	When I did mine I couldn’t afford to buy panels so I made all the chassis rails from 1.6mm and painted them all inside before welding them on. I’ve cavity waxed it too so hopefully it should last a bit.
