rear flooring
« on: December 16, 2005, 21:08:58 »
The wife needs to put a rear floor in her series 2a.  The question i ask is how much difference is there between the rear tub of a series 3 and a series 2a (1963).

The reason i ask this is cos rebel do a chequer plate floor (2mm thick) which is ideal, she wont be taking loads in the boot often so its not too bad, but its for a series 3.

Cheers

Dan

I got one of those kits on my series, looks amazing, but had to do some 'trimming'up for the bulkhead panel. Got some large rivets from screwfix too, about 15mm in length, 6mm diameter, fixed it down a treat.

i found that they pull the plates and the rivets tighter than the hand type, and it saves ur knuckles too, just generally easier all round

Those sissor types are ten million times easier to use that the normal "plier" style.

Well worth investing in a good one tho, the cheaper ones will only last 20 rivets ;)
