The_ASH Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Exactly the correct fix to eliminate this failure.I'm all for the ACBC adding lightness ethos but not when it adds a potential problem whether that means not completing another lap of a circuit and retirement or another 365 day lap of the year and MOT failure.Thanks for your post and the pics.

tangomikeromeo Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Booked into Arch on Friday for weld or replacement. Will also discuss your mod Aeroscreens - it looks just the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangomikeromeo Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Arch to the rescue!A few seconds assessment and it was agreed a new floor was the best option.About 30 minutes later the old floor is out and the new one being measured and strengthened.Two 3mm ally strips were deemed the best solution (and I'm not arguing engineering with Bruce & Co.)And the view from underneath when fitted. Rivets fitted or removed at about 1 every 3 seconds!Home via the MOT retest and I have the necessary paperwork to drive again! Fish and Chipping next week!Great work Arch, many thanks.

6speedmanual Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Good to hear you got fixed up Will. Carriage return. Would definitely argue with the engineering of the extra strips! What are they aiming to acheive, exactly??? Carriage return. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_ASH Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The ally strips will spread the load but not by much, I'd keep an eye on them, you won't see a failure next week or next month but perhaps in a year or two at the rear inner corner where the strip ends as the Un-reinforced floor will flex there.
