fitting hadfield floor hump.

[COL58FE]

 :-/g'day,need some idea's fpr the best way to fit the rod hadfield hump as it does't fit snug to the floor,and no it did not come with fitting instruction's.i guess that part would happen,i'm after an easy/right way before i go mad with the cutter.any help will be better than what i got  at the moment .COL58FE.

Yep, Rod's products are a little light in the instruction dept.
When I did mine (and it's nothing like a Streetneat oxy-hammerweld jobbie), I TEK screwed the hump to the floor where I thought it should go. Closer inspection to the finished product proves the theory "Measure twice, then get a mate to check, then cut".
But anyway, TEK screw it in, get out your scribe or texta and mark the out line, then cut as required. If you measure in for an overlap, or at least leave tabs around the TEK screw holes you can screw it back on so that it stays in place while you are welding. Good Luck.

Hi Col,

The way that I was shown was to tek screw the hump in first and then cut a section say about 20 cm with an air hack saw. push the new down to the level of the old and then weld about 15cm so that you can keep on cutting. Both the panel then have a flush fit and make it easier to clean the welds.

Hope this helps.

Gees I am slow
I just fitted a hump to my ute.
I just drilled 1/8 holes into the replacement hump, then tacked or plug welded it in place. I then carefullly ground out what was left of the old hump and then welding from the underside of the car stitch welded the floor to the underside of the hump. I will then finish it off with some sikaflex for water proofing. I am lucky as I have the ute on a movable frame. From the top it looks like a standard thing, well as standard as if it was spot welded. The only thing that I nned to really do is to make the floor support look nice.!
