Title: Timber Floor FE-FC Ute/Van Post by: gp on April 20, 2010, 04:29:27 PM Hi,
Do any of the guru's know what sort of timber was used in the tray of the FE-FC Utes & Vans? I thought it was probably painted marine ply. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks for your help.

It was very well sealed around the edges with black sealant.

Thanks for your replies. Cheers, Graham Title: Re: Timber Floor FE-FC Ute/Van Post by: valour on May 03, 2010, 08:56:13 PM I replaced mine with standard ply and if I was going to do it again, I would use marine ply (because it does get wet in mine). Cheers.
