Reg, I have experience with the floorboards from Vicky Brit, I am not
impressed. the pans are too shallow (about half of what they should be),
the factory depressions are not as deep, and the holes for the seatbelts,
seats, and whatever else are not there. However, long conversations with
the gentleman at Spitbits has told me that there floorpans are by far
superior, solving all these problems and being made off original dies (I
don't kow how since both floorboards are originally one peice, but I'll
take it with a grain of salt) I will probably use the one from Vicky Brit
to patch another floorpan with and buy new ones from Spitbits. Has anyone
used Spitbits floorpans? Input anyone?
