Chris Witor sells lengths of steel channel for the triumph 2000 range which I think is the same as the Dolomite range, probably worth a call to confirm if no luck elsewhere:

Once done give the inside a good coating of Bilt Hamber Dynax to stop the rust getting hold again

If that's the Dynax S50 you are referring to, it's brilliant stuff. I used it inside some box sections on our horsebox that I had repaired, there were quite a lot of plug welded flange joints, and it's so liquid that it crept into all of them. However, once dried it sets quite firm and is very durable.

Yes Dynax S50, I also use SC (which is nearly clear) on outer sections e.g. engine bay. It was recommended to me by an engineer who worked on North Sea oil rigs. Ferrosol is also far better than WD40 and very effective on alloy parts....
