Ute Floor Details

[notch8]

Just wondering if anyone can please help me with what the original ute floors on FC's looked like - perhaps someone has a photo? At the moment mine's just got a sheet of ply and looks pretty ordinary. I see there's holes for some sort of hold down screws in the subframe and I'm guessing they had straps of some kind. Any idea what sort of timber would have been used - single sheet or separate boards? I guess it would have been a hardwood timber?

Also some details of the straps would be much appreciated, like whether there's anyone out there that can make them, or whether I just use any old metal straps

Any help or photos appreciated

Thanks...Mark

It was originally ply wood with metal strips. I have never seen them reproduced as per original but have seen 3mm x 20mm stainless strips used and routed in so they were only 1 mm up of floor level with counter sunk screws all polished up and they  looked very nice if you not after an original look ...FC427......
