you could go for this one i suppose, i'm not sure how thick a chassis leg would be

Gonna use it, primarily, in the process of converting my nova to an xe. So will be seam welding the engine bay up, and chopping out thechunk of chassis leg and re-welding.

What should i be looking for in the spec? and anyone got any links where i could look at some recommended. not sure on prices tbh, around £150?? :boggle:

cheers, corb.
