Wtd: Cheap edge setter/joggler/joddler

As per title really, I'm after a cheap edge setter for some sills that the tin top needs. They have gone along the bottom edge so want to cut down new full sills about 2 inch from top to save painting around door openings. With or without hole punch so long as they work and under £25 posted.

If you clamp the metal between 2 pieces of steel vice jaws angle iron etc and gently strike a chisel against the steel you get a similar effect

I made my own using a couple of lengths of 25mm square tube and some tript metal...

this piccy makes it clear what i did

I think the very original ones were a mole grip with some bits of plate welded on to make the step. Should be easy enough? not seen any cheap gopod versions for sale though Guess you have tried the bay.

I bought a Clarke air joggler from Machine mart, about twice your budget, but if a trip to Sheffield J31 M1 would be less in fuel you're welcome to bring them down here and set them.

Would love to but car needs an MOT hence putting new sills on. Don't think clamping would work as it's the old sill on the car I want to put the step on to. Novel ideas though.
