Fj40 door limiter mount rusted

[IslandJ]

1973 fj40 relatively rust free but these mounting areas were the door limiters attach are toast. Looks like my step dad may have tried to bandaid them in the past. Anyone dealt with this and have a post about it?

Yes, had to repair that, touched on door in FinishedBitza thread but not that job. I plated over the hole and back round the inside skin with some 2.4mm steel. New hinge brackets are 2.4 as well, I used a tig as there's not a lot of room to work. Those old doors are weak, I found a lot of cracks around the top of the door cavity and lower hinge. Good luck!
