ausmini :: View topic - Rust-replacement floorpan

Im sure someone here has replaced a floorpan in a mini before, I am just wondering if you can get them for a mini with fluid suspension, they have the channel down the middle and an extra rib. I have bought one for my 850 and it fits(no channel in 850), all the ones i have seen on ebay and the one i bought dont have the channel. If you cant get one for the hydro setup, is it possible to put the other one in. The ribs dont line up.
I have 4 minis and 3 have the drivers floorpan cut out ready to replace.
Steve.

Afaik you can't get them anymore in Aus. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

All the ones I've seen here are UK made, with no pipe channels as they didn't have them over there. Also, they are a bit thinner than ours- when I did Anton's 850 the original floor was 1.6mm, the UK front pans I bought were 1.0mm. Yes the ribs don't line up properly, even on the 850 shell.

Steve...a car has just been cut up in Canberra for just that reason...looks like you need to find a donor shell (or three)...

You could replace all 4 pans, or get a whole floor? then clip the pipes and stuff on like early Mini Deluxe and Cooper S had. No channels in floor.

I had to replace both front floors on my 70 K sprint mini, used the ready available floor pans and had my friendly sheetmetal guy bend up some channels that I then inserted in the appropriate place in the floor. A bit of work but it worked. Stiffened up the floor too.

Thanks for all the replys and ideas, i havnt had the net for the weekend so i have only seen them now. I guess i will try and find a shell to cut up, or maybe i will put the replacement panel in and just have them going along touching the panel, they have the cover over them so they should be ok. Thanks again. Steve.

Well while were on the subject, does anywhere in Aus sell complete floor pans as opposed to 4x floor pan sections??
