Title: Ute parts needed Post by: collecta on October 28, 2005, 10:02:53 AM I am chasing the metal strips which run between the boards in the back of a ute or van, might be easier to make out of steel strip and can someone tell me the type of timber used.also a good hood lining to suit a ute, colour not important but condition is. cheers Scott ps while im at it any nice FE grille outer surrounds Title: Re: Ute parts needed Post by: REDMR2RED on October 30, 2005, 01:52:16 AM Hi Scott, for the Ute floor I bought a sheet of 6mm marine ply. I got a great price $49.00 from an FC owner who happened to work there, not a club member tho, he let me choose the grain. Cut it to size and dropped it in. A coat of external Estapol and it looks great.
My steel runners are rusty on the underside, so I'll buy some 1 inch x 1/8 flat and make new ones. I think it'll be a lot easier than cleaning the old ones. Can't help you with the rest, Kevin Title: Re: Ute parts needed Post by: collecta on November 04, 2005, 12:41:15 PM Thanks for your reply Kevin, im going to look into different types of wood.
