hello anyone know where i can get the metal they use inside rally cars please thanks wanna do the floor in my turbo

 

i wouldnt have thought they use metal in rally cars ...
not only due to the weight but if damp it is slippy i would expect they use carbon !!?

 

Do you mean the chequer-board stuff? Me and my Uncle just went to a local metal fabrication yard (in the Highlands) to get some for his Defender that he was doing up... I realise this isn't local to you but there must be an equivalent in your area too.

 

thats the stuff alex how much did you pay for it so i know i aint getting ripped off if you dont mind me asking

 

Mate, this was quite a while ago now- i really can't remember. It was a lot less than I thought it was going to be tho! Price per square metre obviously... remember u need to fix it too tho. We used ordinary nuts and bolts every so often (it was used as a floor in the whole back of the Land Rover) along with some silicon stuff and the odd bit of foam underneath where we thot it mite start jumping up and down and making a racket!

 

you want "tread plate" and its bloody horrible looking stuff!

 

yea but i want some thing different every one has carpet dont they how many people have the chequer floor

 

your looking for 2mm, 5 bar aluminium chequer-plate. i think the my boss pays about Ł65 for an 8 by 4 sheet of it.

 

fucking loads! most overused flooring ive seen,, and its horrible!

 

oh rite cheers mate where does he go does all sheet metal places do it

 

not many people have herpes either,,,, dont mean its a good idea to catch it

 

pmsl

 

yea point taken lol may be i should go for different colour carpet would that look better

 

B&Q have it in flat sheet.

Useless when wet tho

 

yeah, get a nice cobble stone effect carpet,,,, in wine red !!!

or what about one of them road effect rugs i used to have in my bedroom as a child,, that aint been done either

OR,,,,,, tiger skin carpet,,, aint seen that in a track car before,, carpet the dash like the mercs too and have the head with the gauges in the eyes and steering wheel out the mouth

thats gonna get some attention,,,,, more original than a flocked dash too

 

oh rite good to know cheers

 

cant wait till its done

 

ps: im gonna go for panther skin in my scooby as i would make the tan lion fur dirty too quick in my car

 

have to wait till next year
