1 - Wolfsburg West is a quality place to obtain them.
2 - '55 and prior floor pans are very highly sought after to be reproduced, and maybe one day they will be...
Until then replace only the bad metal to retain the seat rails that are different from '56 ->

Wolfsburg West is out of stock of one side of their floorpans. Wont have more for about 5 weeks they say.

I'm using plywood until someone stamps out a decent early floorpan, why can you buy correct repro Kubel floors but not early ovals? makes no sense, PS, I'll take 1/4s, I can weld a seam in exchange for cheaper shipping

WW said that they were getting an "even better" version of their floopans. The guy on the phone said that they were supposedly factory identical. We'll see in about a month or so...
