Resurrecting this thread from a couple of years ago I just wanted to let Greg know he was quite correct about the outriggers on my 403. After further digging, I have had to repair all six outriggers and have replaced both porthole box section sills. It's been a lot of work but I've now nearly finished all the chassis welding. The worst part has been the A posts where I have had to peel away the bottom of the aluminium wings in order to get to the rotten steel. I will worry about how to deal with the aluminium later!
