I spent all day today cutting and bending a section of the diamond plate. I have a big-azz 7" angle grinder so cutting was sparky but fast. I cut my piece into two sections 20" by 8". Bending was a different affair. I clamped the plate to my welding table, marked the bend with soap stone, and used my acetylene torch to soften it up. A #5 tip was too weak, then a #7, and finally I used the cutting attachment to get it bendable. But by bendable I mean using a small sledge hammer. That 3/16" steel plate is some tough stuff to bend. I got the rear edge to fold over the rear seat support. The roll bar will bolt there. The front end I angled up to meet the front seat support. I still need to massage the floors a bit to get a tight fit, but it is working out the way I wanted. This plate will not bend once it is welded to the floors. I will probably drill some more holes so there are four bolts surrounding the upright post. See where the post bolts to the floor? That was supposed to support a roll-over? Maybe on a brand new car. Even then, I don't trust that, so in goes the steel plate.
