Bob:
Nice TR 250. Lucky it is not rusted badly.
I had a Mazda truck, just a daily driver, that had a hole or two in the
drivers side floor and up into the fenderwell. I had agreed to sell the
truck and was cleaning it out for delivery to the buyer. That is when I
discovered the holes. I searched around for a couple of pieces of
galvanized sheet metal, and rushed over to Canadian tire to get a pail of
roofing tar. Once back home I cut and bent some of the sheet metal to fit,
both inside and out. Then I tarred the floor surfaces, and tapped the sheet
metal into the tar with a hammer. Next, I drilled holes through the sheet
metal and the floor it sandwiched, and pop riveted everything into place.
Then I buttered the whole repair with roofing tar to match the undercoat.
I called the buyer, and told him what I had done. He came over, took a look
at my repair, and bought the truck. Good fix for a Mazda, but hardly proper
on a Triumph.
