Posted December 4, 20222 yr comment_647855 So I noticed they sell an " inner rocker" but its really a piece (not sure why) that is sandwiched between the outer and inner rocker. I really need the just the real inner part and the front, not the whole rocker. Anyone make it.

December 5, 20222 yr comment_647857 I just replaced both my lower quarters this weekend with patch panels. One inner was in rough shape and I ended up fabricting a patch. Once you open it up, you understand why they all rusted! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68027-inner-rocker/#findComment-647857 Share on other sites More sharing options...

December 5, 20222 yr comment_647862 If you are replacing that, then you have some serious rust. I wish they made a front fender, I bet they could sell more fenders than that piece.

It's a reinforcement. Probably because that part of the rocker would bulge and shear without it. Always remember automotive manufacturers don't add pieces for no reason! They try to make everything as cheap as possible Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68027-inner-rocker/#findComment-647863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 5, 20222 yr comment_647877 I always assumed the inner rocker reinforcement was due to the rockers being a jack point? Anyone? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68027-inner-rocker/#findComment-647877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 6, 20222 yr comment_647923 That's possible I guess but I don't think they would need to be as long as they are or go all the way to the rear just to make the rocker stiff enough for jacking Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68027-inner-rocker/#findComment-647923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS part is exactly the part that makes the jackpoints strong! Also when you put the car on a 2 post lift! Lots of people do this wrong because they don't trust that part you are refering to! The middle part in this beam makes it very strong, so strong you can lift your car with a jack without a problem.

I have never looked inside the rockers. Is there a reinforcement in the rear of the rocker too or just the fronts?

On both ends there is a mid-reinforcement, so there is the beam tripple sheet-steel! A good habit would be that buyers always took a look in those beams!! I got a special camera of 4,5 mm (about a 1/6th of an INCH! 😉 ) for this!

January 2, 20232 yr comment_648868 The cowl drain that runs into the front fender "dogleg" then drains into this rocker area too. I added a drain spout from the inner footwell out to the fender area.
