Title: Floor cuts needed Post by: fe van on July 25, 2020, 04:00:40 PM Hi All,
Anyone have any floor cuts? I need this front piece (see pic) and rear floor cuts for in front of the rear seat base I'm Sydney based.

A replacement rear floor pan from say Rare Spares will be what you need for the rear. For the front, it depends on how far up the toeboard the rust goes; but a LHF floor pan should do the job.

Thanks Darren Title: Re: Floor cuts needed Post by: mcl1959 on July 26, 2020, 02:02:41 PM Darren in my experience the replacement floor panels always have ribs which are a little shallower than original. Nothing that a little panel beating doesn’t fix. The kick up at the front is just an average measurement of where good metal should be. Maybe your van has slightly more rust than normal in this area. I would make up a piece to extend the kick up to how ever far you needed.
Regarding finding a donor car with the LHF floor pan rust free......If such a thing existed, good luck Ken |
