Yesterday I set about fitting a pair of hinge repair kits on the passenger side of the FFR, top one came apart without a drama, but the bottom one wouldn't,so I thought I'd just remove the whole hinge and strip it on the bench, only for the 50 year old captive nut and  plate to break apart inside the bulkhead  . So ended up cutting the bolt off to remove the hinge and the fight the remains out of the bulkhead, and found a hole below the hinge too. Luckily yesterday afternoon I had arranged to meet Joskin at his shed as he said to me earlier in the week that he had a welder going spare, which now has a new home with me and put it to use today making a new captive nut plate and plating up the hole 
Still got some improvement to do on my welding skills as yet and thing that it really needs a pillar at some point in the future but think that 'll do for now
