These extend down between the rear apron and the wing and are
spot-welded through. I had to replace a section at the rear as it had
rusted out. I hacksawed down vertically between the apron and wing
cutting out the bad part of the seam, then slotted in a new section and
welded it from underneath. After painting you really can't see the
joins.
