You want Waddingtons (who I believe bought CRS) but still maintain a separate website, just google it should come up... There just K frame reinforcement plates

..... Or make some cardboard templates and take them to your nearest laser cutter bloke and have them cut.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

I'd ring them Monday morning and deal directly with them! Might be easier.

Sorry to hijack, better to full weld or stitch it in? What's best for stopping the water getting between the sheets?

I think they are normally stitched in , you could just run seam sealer or drip chek around them to seal them up ?

I was going to fully weld and coat inner's with copper spray which is good for stopping corrosion i find it better than zinc spray as the copper is conductive and helps with a smoother weld and less splatter

Think you'll find they only need to be stitched in.
