Any drawbacks? I have heard horror stories about the fit on > fg fenders, but any concerns about the floors? Fit is one problem. Attaching them to the steel pan is the other one. Fastening schemes that work well on steel don't work on fiberglass, and vice versa. If you just need "some" floorwork, could you fabricate your own part from sheet steel and weld it in? If the part you need to replace is just ~flat, that is probably a lot easier and more effective. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
