Ali for the Floor Needed

[MikeB]

I have some ali sheet left over from my last build, think its enough to make the back panel and tranny panels.
But not enough for the floor. has anyone got any left overs or know somewhere at a good price.
Don't mind it being a two piece floor.

Also do you have to weld the seat runner mounts in first, have people used a standard spacing for this as at the moment I don't know what seats I'll be using.

Thanks

Seat mounts depend on the runners. I welded mine in first.

the cheapest place that i have found on the net so far for ali is http://www.aluminiumwarehouse.co.uk/Aluminium-Large_Sheets-Medium_Strength_Sheet_-_5251/c120_166_168/index.html

'Apparently' a speed camera sign is just the right size for one side, 3mm thick too!

is that the speed camera sign that has the picture of the camera on ?













the one that tells us theres one there !!! :eek:

lol,
dont think I'll be using one of those. lol Isn't 3mm a bit overkill.
Was thinking 2mm.

iv just used 3mm, id rather have a little bit more between my arse and the road than save weight, im a skinny bugger anyway:D but i suppose its just down to personal preference.

As Rob says, 2mm 5bar chequer plate works really well and looks the part too. Just need to grind flat the treads where it sits under the bottom rails.
