Ribbed Floor

The floor used is as recommened by FMS, 1.6mm Zincaneal; it was folded with the reinforcing ribs as detailed in the FMS plans, tack welded in place and then back stitch welded to prevent buckling of the sheetmetal.
The rib ends were trimmed and bent at about 45 degrees and welded smooth to allow the floor to slide over anything it grounds on rather that abruptly stopping/catching on an exposed lip.
A low speed fan nearby minimised me inhaling any of the nasty fumes the zinc gives off which would otherwise make me pretty sick!









Onto the steering rack and/or diff next.
