It might be a dumb question, but I was wondering why there are cut outs on the upper line of the Gerson inner rocker for the long side? There is nothing going through there. Or was the piece mounted the wrong way?

The factory floor had drain holes there. There were little plugs covering them.

I found a topic in burlyhammer‘s rebuild thread. There should be 17 holes according to campingbox. I still have original floor parts on the passenger side with holes in it, but the driver side was replaced. Can anyone help me out with the correct location of those holes? I try to restore my bus to factory specs and these details are important to me Smile. Thanks!

That floor looks a little cleaner now.

Don't forget to drill the 17? holes for the cargo floor rubber plugs.
