I swapped over my wheels today, to clean them ready for Japfest.

Upon jacking my car up, I found the flange on the sill where you put the oem jack, is falling apart with rust. So when I used the trolley jack, that bit collapsed with half of it in rusty bits on the floor.

What are my options? Can I get replacement sills? And what are the likely costs?

colin Wiltshire Hi Colin, did you ever get new sills? I have time on my hands this summer and was thinking of replacing mine as a precaution rather than necessity. If so where did you source them. C

No, I never did. I rubbed them down, put rust treatment on the painted underseal on. It will do for now, but still needs doing.

I used the little bit of knowledge I have on parts to locate the other side. Normally LHS is odd number the RHS follows with the even number.
