Replacement floor panels

So here is I think the worse part as far as sheet metal goes, the driver side front floor. Not pretty, eh?

The section where the seats mount are solid. (the PO didn't put all the grommets in the front section of the floor tunnel so the engine oil coated the floors but obviously not enough to save the front floors).

The Moss site doesn't seem to have just the front floor panel but instead #8 looks like the hole floor.

Are just the front section they available?

Very helpful pictures Mike, thanks.

Is the main section of the front floor section actually flat? It looks like there is a taper from the side to the main middle section. If it is actually flat that should be a fairly easy repair, no?

Nice work on your rebuild BTW!

I did not like the replacement pieces for the floor pans because they were just as thin and a risk to rust as the originals. I welded in pieces of (cough, cough) galvanized 11guage steel. Looks like you need to buy some por-15 to cover the rest of that rust. Clean off what you can and then paint that stuff on and its done permanently. It will never come off unless you grind it off.

It is not flat, if your a taller person you will need the taper to help you fit and have better foot placement. Yours look like a patch piece has been put in place already.

Yeah, you are right Paul. I never noticed until I started looking at the schematics more closely, and those pictures from Mike really helped. Patching a patch, never a good thing.

Kim and Jack - I think I'm going to get all of the old patch off and hopefully where it meets the side of the cockpit will be solid still. Don't really want to think about if the inner side panels are rotten...

Thanks for the info!
