i might put a few in. drilling from underneath is a good call especially with a radiator and fans under there! yeh higher points will be easy to spot. thanks. I will do a bit more tonight. I did some last night in the dark which is difficult enough without being joined by a very angry wasp, moths and all sorts. I am determined to get this thing useable before the winter sets in.
Looking good! Once you've got the weight of a full interior on top of the floor screws aren't really needed.
Even Westfalia only used about 4 tiny self tappers. I suggest they were there to hold it position while the interior was finished rather than hold it down in any meaningful way. Available screws under 8-9mm length aren't likely to do much more.
Devon meanwhile used polystyrene sheet in the lower area + thin hardboard + cheap kitchen vinyl. Unsurprisingly these floors have not generally stood the 50 year test of time but they are a good demonstration of how little strength is really needed I think.
We just stuck in some vinyl offcut that we liked from the local carpet retailer. Colour coded silicon in a fine bead around the edge seals it nicely. That way you can replace it in the future easily if you damage it. Using adhesive or carpet tape runs the risk of ruining your nice ply subfloor Edit, lay the vinyl after the units are in. It's a trickier cut, but again easier to potentially replace
I think you have to do it in two layers because on the siding door runner is higher then the floor. But that was on a Earlybay the best model in my opinion and i'm right!
Decided to not screw it down or for now anyway. bought 2 packs of stick on vinyl and after hoovering stuck it on. It looks fab but of course ran out
Done. Had to shorten the side panel but all looking good. Insulation next but will do a different post. insulation was recommended by a bloke who does t4/t5 conversions (sorry for swearing) I got talking to last week
