#1 Floor Replacement

Post by colinevans » Thu Mar 25, 2021 7:26 pm

Hi All

All stripped down and ready to start the real work. The floor panels all need replacing along with sills and closing panels, rear bulkhead, tunnel, boot floor etc. Has anyone used the full floor kits from SNG or any of the other usuals and if so any recommendations?
Cheers
Colin

Once or twice Colin.

My executive summary on the subject is, get the parts ordered from Mr Robey and crack on with it.

Please fell free to PM me.

Before you start painting, make sure the smaller drain holes are the right diameter - the floors supplied by Martin Robey few years back for me had the holes enlarged by about 1mm.
You might also weld all the extra mounting points for the seats - they are universal for later models, I believe.

The floors otherwise are very good.
