Well, finally...the floors are almost completely into my car. Things look pretty good. I am glad that I found the piece that welds to the pan between that has the caged nut for the body mount! The first pan was a learning experience and boy are most of the welds ugly! But it worked. The second one, welds look much cleaner. here is the first problem:
We bolted in the seats just to see how we did with the floors. The passenger side is perfect. However, the drivers side slops/tilts slightly to the left and back a hair. When it is in its forward most position, doesnt look too bad, but if you move the seat back all the way, it becomes very apparent. Looks like the first pan (drivers side) we did, we set about 1/4" too low Not too much we can do now...so I think the fix is to stick a few washers between the foot of the seat and the seat mount. We tried it with three washers and it sat much better. I was wondering if this sort of thing is typical? I though I read on here that they have spacers just for this purpose? If so, where can I get them, or should I just use some washers?
Now, I am worried that the body mount bolt wont meet up with the pan in the right place...but we measured and measured and measured...so i am thinking we have it in the right place.
As I was reading this I was going to suggest a few washers....but you already thought about that...I`d weld them in place after you get the correct height etc...
My brother had a good idea...go to home depot and get the 1/8" pieces of steel they sell, you know the kind that is like 1.5" wide or so...drill a hole in it, cut it so its the same size as the seats foot (that way when its tightened down it doesnt bend the foot). Make two of them if needed.
It felt good to see the seats back in the car after more than a year...even though it was just to mock it up. Engine is more than half paid for and most of what is left is reassmbly...until the next problem comes up!
Pictures of the floors being done will be posted soon!
You can also get flat Aluminum stock... a little easier to cut to size and easier to drill through yet strong enough for a spacer. You can grind/sand it down if you need to taper it more like a slight wedge shape over all...
