The alu' tub (assuming 3/4, vs full) would mate up to that A-pillar where it's gone - you can see the bolthole in my photo where the flange meets up.
The flange does help to at least not need it to be "pretty" like a door patch...
DO you have any pics of how you did that? Did it extend below the floor for the second mounting bolt?I welded some 2x4 tubing into replace my rotten a pillar when I was ready for solid mounting the Aqualu tub to the Toyota cowl. I’m not pretending that it’s a proper purist repair, but it should be sturdy enough for a wheeler.
Do you have any pictures? Did you have to replace anything below the floor for the lower cowl/ tub bolt? If so, what did you do there?I just did this repair before attaching an Aqualu 3/4 tub. I used 16 gauge metal. With a grinder, metal brake and a mig welder the repairs were not difficult, just very time consuming given the extent of the repairs I had. Pretty much all of my cowl was rotten from the lower hinge down. And, yes, I looked at the Aqualu cowls too, but I could not afford both the cowl and the tub.
It’s in my build starts at post 287. Mine was done this last winter/spring and it’s not on the road yet. I did make a second hole for the lower mounting bolt and I thinks it’s stouter than before. I drove around with it bolted to the lower rotten cowl for a couple years before I worked up the nerve to tear it down and fix it.DO you have any pics of how you did that?
