cargo floor corrugation dimension

[mike brind]

Hi , does anybody know the correct depth of the corrugations on the cargo floor panels , ive purchased a repair section and it appears to be too shallow ,and as I'm only patching it doesnt match up with the existing profile depth, thanks .

no ive bought a repair section that is newly manafactured claiming to be of the correct profile but it doesnt match the existing floor that im trying to patch repair ,im wondering what the correct dimensions are just to clarify that my splitty cargo floor is of original spec so i can sort out the issue with supplier, the replacement section seems to be too shallow by at least 1.5mm. the orig seem to me around 7.5mm from top of corrugation to the underside of the next if i measure end on

You need someone with a cut out OG section then if you are measuring that way. I can measure the depth of the corrugates but only from one side- they're part of their host buses.

I understand you have some new floor you aren’t sure about.

But unless your rusty old floor has previously been repaired ... then rusted out again (seems unlikely)... I don’t understand why you can’t rely on the validity of the “floor to be patched” dimensions. Maybe you want to verify your existing old ass floor is original. Seems like you could determine that though.

you may have received bay window floor sections, the profile and spacing is off on that floor when compared to a split

I'm looking for someone willing to sell me some scraps of split window floor to patch m my single cab but having no luck

i just need the correct dimension of the original floor is all, just to verify what it should be , the replacement panel i have seem to be around 5.5mm in depth and when i measure my floor it varies a little as I'm taking measurement off pieces ive removed and the remaining original but appears to be around 7mm in depth.

[ryans65]

I'm lost on what floor repair sections I have then lol

The profile is *almost* right but the spacing is slightly wider and I blindly assumed it was bay window metal... maybe its vanagon stuff? I dunno.

LAGRunther-

Thanks for the ads, I'll message them!

ryan65 mines a 64 splitty from oz , just out of interest do u think you could take a measurment from yours from the top of one corrugation to the bottom of the next , thanx , original floor on left which comes in at 7mm replacement is around 5.5mm

the original floor is on the left on the first pic , u can see its quite a bit deeper

[ryans65]

Yes, I will try and get out there tonight.

[mike brind]

to be fair ive rang the guy and he said if i send him a piece of floor that theyll make me a section , and claims he took the measurements from a 61 SC but the bit he sent is so far off i think it may be a dud, and i dont really want to cut out a decent section of floor ,

I've just measured an off-cut of original floor that I bought to make a repair patch from.

Each of the ridges is 7.4mm +/- 0.05mm

Are you the guy who asked the same question on the SSVC forum, or is that just a coincidence? If not, I'll remember to post this there too.

ye thats me , thanks fro reply , i bought the too shallow panel as it was advertised as the correct profile ,annoying to say the least its barely 6mm which the guy claims is what it should be and got quite shirty and ive ended up with money back ,

[Who.Me?]

Nah, that's too shallow.

I was surprised when I measured and it was only 7.4mm though. Looks deeper when it's in place.

your measurement seem to be pretty much the same as my orig floor , can i ask others to measure theres to get a definite average thanks people.

[EverettB]

Cargo floor section I have. It looks like at least 7mm on my crude ruler:

I measured another spot and it looked like 7.5mm so the 7.4mm above seems about right to me.
