How does one fix this

Postby Classic Finn » Mon May 07, 2007 2:21 pm

Now Im sitting here pondering upon a way to fix the ugly back floor where it meets the back trailer frame...

Suggestions anyone?

hey fin. not sure how to fix that. all of your photos look good and looks like the build is coming along. but how come all of your photos have that white hue around them? is hard to see some detail in someof them.

Heikki, we tooka piece of scrap al sheet and cut a piece the width of the floor and about foot long(less I think) and bent it into a U and fitted it around the base/end of things...we bent it with a ho-made sheet metal brake but any sheet metal shop could bend it easily enough....

...a piece of al flashing or a piece of somethng similar(if not the same) as that diamond plate you have...or take your dimensions to a sheet metal shop and have them make it up out of whatever they have in stock that you like(copper, brass, al, titanium, chrome moly anodized marine grade stainless...or some such :D )
