Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 decided to cut some tin to shape and weld in for the odd shaped parts of the floor it was then to make up a no expense spared metal folder - well ok it was a bit of angle iron and some g-clamps but it worked well first piece cut and folded made up the belly pan earlier this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 ok - possibly my biggest U-turn to date - after a couple of cups of tea with Dave in the garage he pointed me in the right direction on the floorpans - thanks Dave you git Basically the suggestion was why not modify what I had already done and fit a flat floor (well flatish) This has a few of benefits - 1. trimming of the floor area with carpet will be much easier and look better too 2. The seat can be mounted direct to the floor which will be even an even better driving position that was already much better than original 3. a more simplified construction rather my perhaps over engineered heavyweight design 4. it is gonna look better too So after a couple of nights thinking time I started hacking away - one step forwards two steps back springs to mind although I think this will be a big step forwards when done some basic framework starting to go in what have I done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
