To iron out the imperfections in the top edge I clamped a piece of 50 x 25mm RHS in tightly to the top lip and welded it in. Another 25 x 25mm RHS was added to straighten the centre section. The wide piece is 5mm thick and will be used to tap into to take the tie down hooks. Originally they were rivetted to a thinner piece but bolting on with countersunk bolts will be easier.
The tailgate will be a bit heavier but in came out straight and flat.

Thanks boys.
John, I should have expected that an old Ford man like you would have known what that stood for.

I digressed from the tailgate for a change to make the hood bows. I didn"t have any original remains except the hood bow brackets but fortunately thanks to Mike Cecil I received original some original plans several years ago.
