Floor panels for Landcruiser

Hi all,

I am looking for replacement floor panels for a CF Landcruiser.

Please, does anyone have a contact for someone who can make some for me?

Cheers

Gary

Presumably,if you're asking for panels you're intending to weld them in yourself.So why not try making them too?
Copied from another forum (with added links):
Shaping steel is not too difficult if you know the easy tricks, firstly you should ensure you have done all the cutting to shape using cardboard as a template, ensuring it is a perfect fit.
Mark the fold lines etc on the cardboard to transfer to the steel.
Most of the folds/bends can be made by clamping a length of angle either side of the fold line, then with a gloved hand apply pressure while tapping away with a hammer close to the bend, gradually bending the steel over.
Don't try to form the steel in one go with a big hammer, work it slowly paying attention to how it is forming, checking constantly the fit and ensuring it's lying flat and not rippled along the edge.
There are many good videos on youtube showing various methods and articles used to form shapes.
Bits of various diameter round bar, old brake drums, a bit of an old steel girder and a sandbag are all handy things to have when shaping steel, making it easier for the various shapes you may require.


When I welded my floorpan I used the casing off an old washing machine.
