Inner sills and heater channels

Post by muddy » 19th November 2016 - 10:20pm

Hi guys,

I've just split the body off the floor pan today and on reflection I probably need to replace the outer sills and inner sills.

The inner sill has little grate in both front foot wells which are both shot.

What is the difference between an inner sill and a heater channel?

Is it just a cause of the heater channel having both the inner sill and heater tube as one?

Could I just get an inner sill if the inner heater tube is ok?

Thanks.
