Don't know if you've gotten any answers, but go for the British Heritage
pieces, especially the floor pans. I have an after market floor pan for the
driver's side and of course my current restoration I needed the passenger
side. I had a passenger side, but got cut up and used for patches on my
son's car. I bought a British Heritage passenger side floor pan from TRF
during their spring sale for my car. There is no comparison in the quality
of the two, however there are many differences.
The after market floor pan is thinner material and has a lip all the way
around the edges. There are no holes for the seats and no bolts for the
wiring and plumbing brackets that run under the passenger floor pan.
The Heritage floor pan is thicker metal, but has no lip around the edges.
It has the welded nuts for the seat bolts. It also has all the studs to
secure the wiring and plumbing brackets under the floor.
Now if I could just find someone to replace the floor pan for me I'd get on
with the restoration. None of the body shops I've contacted locally want to
mess with rust. They say it takes too long and theirs more money in
collision damage.
Good luck with your repairs,
Ken

Subject: sheet metal
My son and I are working on a '63 B.
We have to do the floors, sills, etc.
I have Moss, Victoria British, and a couple of other catalogs.
I am looking for the best fitting, correct contour pieces available.
Could someone make a recommendation or do they all come from
the same dies?
A couple of years ago I helped a friend do a '56 Chevy. The owner of the
car
supplied the sheet metal and the contours were awful. I would like to
avoid that
if possible.
thanks
Bob
