I've been thinking of doing the floors in aluminium. However I'm finding it hard to find anyone to do it for me (I've welded steel once, I'm not going to try it on aluminium when my life will depend on it). So I may be happy with the grp floors or make them from 1mm mild steel. I should be able to get those done without much drama. Steel floor will mean I can weld it to the frame if I like, too.
Ships in the Mediterranean now...

Why not folded and rivetted - it was good enough for race cars. Would bond quite well to the chassis and outriggers, so will be strong enough I would say

Yes I agree Marc, it just that I don't think I can get bends crisp enough to satisfy myself, so was trying to find an aluminium fabricator to do it with a machine.

Riveting and bonding would be heaps but Rego laws are it has to be fully welded in.

Testing via Instagram as I'm sick of Photobucket

Well that didn't work well
Tried from Facebook too and no joy. Guess I'm stuck in the bucket. I've unsubscribed from the email I wonder if that will stop the whole thing from working!
We'll see

Tim, I cut them with an angle grinder. I just got some steel and clamped it underneath so I could draw inside of chassis rail and outriggers etc...
Then drew a line approx 15mm from each edge, which gave me the floor area. The decided that the drop was 75mm, reducing to 25mm at the rear
