Take a look at the photo. I took the inner frame rail out and some of the bolt tunnel pieces for the brake cylinder bolts have rusted away. Does anyone have a photograph as to what these should look like? I. Not sure how much has rusted away.
Thanks!

Re: GPW Frame rebuild
Hello,
Perhaps that page will help you.
https://www.1943mb.com/article/40/G503- ... eat-Shield
and that video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m5WhuBW0hA
There are close up views.
And the following will likely helps you as well:
1. The frame/chassis should be boxed over these 3 spacers in the picture.
2. The spacers are welded into both frame/chassis sections.
3. The reason the 3 spacers are there is to make a solid connection so when the 'long bolts' connecting the master cylinder don't collapse or flex the box section after being torqued.
