Nice progress Mike. My floors are British Heritage floors that came with my car. I wish they were as flat as yours. Where they punched the large holes, stretched the floor pan and I had to shrink those areas. I did a lot of work on mounting holes as well as the flanges to make sure that the prop shaft tunnel and the transmission cover fit correctly. I am not a fan of stretching bolt holes so they line up. If the hole did not line up I filled it and put it in the correct location. I feel if I don't fix the floors now I will be fighting alignment problems all the way thru my restoration. Frank

Thanks Frank. I will do it a little different with the DS. I will likely do as you suggest with filling the hole then re drilling them in the more correct location.

i really enjoy your updates Mike, nice work as usual. Did you make the floorpan?

Thanks Charlie... The floor came from Moss. It is claimed to be a British Motor Heritage product, but I'm not convinced. Regardless, it fit quite well and required little "fettling". I have a DS floor that is different from this new one, and I actually suspect it is NOS, but one thing at a time ;-)
