A floor transforms the look. Enjoy fixing it in place.

Standard M8 metric bolts will be just fine for the rack clamps

Just make sure that they are at least 8.8 grade tensile strength

Can't remember the length but long enough for a flat washer on top of the clamp & a penny washer underneath the rack support bracket, then nylock nut & leave a few threads spare

thanks Andrew - I am aiming to pop over on friday morning... be ready for lots of questions lol

also... tonight I had a riveting time!! I managed to get one of the floor panels in place. I got my wife to pur the first rivet in which she seemed to enjoy but she didn't volunteer to do the rest. Now I am just wondering how to get black sikaflex off my fingers and from under my nails!!

Don't get it on in the first place....

What type of riviter did you use? I used a lazy scissor riviter and it was a breeeeze.

Cutting your fingers off would be the easiest way!

Its almost as bad as ford sump sealant

But a quater of the cost of the ford stuff..

I remember when I was doing mine, my 6 yr old (as he was then!) was helping, all I kept saying was "Keep away from that black stuff, if you get it on your cloths your mother will kill us."

TT I have one of those lazy riviters as well and they make light work of all those rivets! now the floor is complete! (and i wore rubber gloves this time so no black fingers from the sealant!)
