Do you mean the floors or the whole thing? Ali floors certainly aren't a probem. Can't think why they'd have a problem with using aliminium per se anywhere as long as it was thick enough for the job in hand....

Yes.
My dash is carbon affect,but the rest of the interior is aluminium.
I put piping along the top of the inner sides to remove the sharp edge.

The new book chassis is all aly interior too i think. I think you have to take certain things into account like radius along the bottom of the dash though. Worth a look at the book.

Do you have any more pictures piddy? That I can have a look at as I was thinking of leaving just the aluminium but looking at SVA book I might have to cover the whole lot up?
But looking at yours I might get away with that rubber piping
Also I do have the Avon book but it’s the old one that I use as a doorstop!! Rescued attachment Image041.jpg

Hello Matt.
I don't have any more pictures of the interior but could take some if you wanted.
It's difficult to get good pictures of the interior.
your more than welcome to pop over for a look if you wanted.
