  1. Do feel free to call the sales team on 01273 444 000, thye will probably need some pics emailing across and can then look into it for you. Without more information I cant really look into it.

    You will need your chassis number,

    Some photo's of the label on the panel you recieved and the panel itself.

    Then any of my collegues should be able to help, if you have any more issues pls feel free to email me direct.

    You have to remove the gear lever / handbrake bracket

    drill the spot welds out of the handbrake lever bracket and remove it from the new floor, the holes you drill will then be plug welded to the mount still on your van, then drill the 4 spot welds from the throttle mech on your van and swap it to the new floor, take about 30 mins :)

  9. As davidoft says remove all the bits and weld up the holes that's the same floor I used in my van [​IMG]it will fit fine after a little bit of fiddling with. I still need to weld the holes up .

  15. Thank you all for the extra information on this.

    I have changed the item description to include:


    May require some modification/relocation of the brackets as this is a Brazilian Bay Panel, but the shape and fit is good once modified.
