Whole floor panel

Post by paulhumphries »

I know you can get 1/4 and 1/2 floor repair panels but does anyone manufacture a complete floor panel.
It seems pointless to "patchwork" 2 or 4 panels in place when one is going to be far neater.
I know all strength will be lost and that is why people normally just replace one at a time but if all 4 are already totally rotten then I'm going to fabricate a jig to hold everything square beforehand anyway.

Thanks.

Paul Humphries.

I've seen half of a floor assembled, including sill panels etc at ESM by the parts counter.

Give them a call.
Cheers John - all comments IMHO

Generally it's not essential to remove the gearbox tunnel, so the best option is to go for a right hand and left hand complete floor. (the front floors are not connected to each other anyway and therefore you could just be removing the tunnel for pain not gain (just my opinion)

If the floor joins the tunnel a few inches up the side then the join won't be visible without lifting the carpet or putting the car on a ramp ;-)
