Modifying The Floor

Evidently the "heritage" floors sold by Rimmer Bros are not that accurate.

The bracket that goes under the floor ("dashboard support", near the end of the outrigger) won't fit within the pressed shape.

So I took action. I cut the (NEW!) floor, formed it into a better shape, and started to weld it back together.

Did I mention I have no idea what I'm doing?

Yup, looks about right. Nice that you figured it out before you put it in, unlike me. Easier to modify that way. Good job, David.

I didn't figure it all out by myself... I got some good suggestions on YouTube. ;-)

Hi David. Can you elaborate on the modification. After seeing this I went and held the new "Dashboard support" up to the new floor (neither installed). The dashboard support fits over the pocket for the floor. But now I see that the hole in the dashboard support isn't centered in the pocket. Is that the issue?

The issue was that the bracket didn't fit - the front of the floor was too narrow. So I cut the floor, widened it and welded it. I have some videos on my YT channel: shows the repair process
