Aluminium Sill Protectors - can anyone make me a set for some beer tokens?
Hi All
Is there anyone on here that can make me a set of sill covers for my Westfield?
I'd do it myself, but my metalworking skills aren't great and I don't have the tooling or materials!
I'm effectively after two covers to go over the sills, made from ally that I can bond to the bodywork.
Carbonmods do a set in Carbon, but
I'm really not fussed (or want to pay that price) and I'd prefer to just spray the ally up in gloss black to match my cycle wings.
I assume all you'd need to do is cut the ally to size and bend it in one of those metal bending thingies (technical term I'm sure). Oh and
also file the edges so I don't lacerate myself on getting in and out!
Happy to cover materials, labour (not that there'd be much I suppose) and postage!
If anyone can help, I can send you dimensions?
Thanks!
Ben.

By sills do you mean the high bits you have to step over, that once inside the car become arm rests?
Got mine from Mac1 motorsports. Ali angle type stuff, rivetted them on. Would probs bond on too.

Yep, that would be them!
Thanks though- I'll give MAC1 a shout, but if there's anyone who can make them... there are still beer tokens available :-)

I drew some lines, cut the appropriate length and width of ally, and bent them around the chassis. I then covered them in upholstery vinyl. Job done.
Of all the things I've made, this was seriously the EASIEST, and one of the cheapest. It also affected the look quite a bit, which made it quite
satisfying to have done.
