1955 vw chassis

Here is my issue. I have removed the napoleon's hat in order to replace it. I flipped chassis over and noticed a hole in the tunnel plus lack of metal to attach the hat to. The front is solid. Was there another strip of steel that went across there? Here is a couple of pictures

This is what the bottom of my '56 pan looks like . . .

To complete yer "Napoleon's Hat", ya might be able to use a strip off of the rear of one of these . . . http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=113701039D

I need that strip that looks like it's a separate piece right under napoleon's hat. What is that piece called?

Might want to check the entire length of tunnel for more rust, dont wanna break in half on first bump.
