Looks like someone got lazy and just cut the floor support pieces off on both sides. Any good way to re-make these or anyone have a scrap pan that these can be cut off of for me with the angle piece? Thanks
They should look like this:

He's looking for the body support from the torsion bar housing to the body. not what you have imaged.
Empi- that sux. Hopefully that portion of the housing is not cast or hardened steel. If not maybe you can go to your local big box home type supply store and buy a piece of 1/4" thick plate. Then fabricate your replacement part.
Good luck _________________ I have learned over the years.

Thanks for clarifying. I don't think it's cast but I will have to grind at it a bit to find out. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to fab up if I need to, Thx. _________________ 1963 Ragtop Bug |
