I bought a roll of thin fluted rubber matting from East Kent Trims, cut to size it fits well and is waterproof of course. Barry

I used rubber matting that is designed to go into stables, and it's fixed down with some healthy blobs of Tigerseal.
I also did the entire floor of my workshop with it.

be carefull with rubbes especially if its a steel floor as moisture gets underneath

10mm thick seems a bit excessive?
I was thinking some a few mm thick, stuck down with some velcro so it can be removed easily?

what mine has, is a heel plate riveted to the floor, its made of that anti slip stuff (the stuff thats like sand paper) can send you a photo if you
want? if you like, SHP will sell you one i'm sure. no idea of the price though. some of their stuff seems real cheap, some stuff, mmm maybe not
lol.

I used some of the industrial flooring stuff that you see in comercial kitchens, hospitals, ets. It's like heavy duty lino and has an anti slip
grit in it and is very hard wearing. Comes in a veriety of colours.
I cut it to shape and glued it down.

That is the first '7' I have ever seen where the seats didn't completely fill the cockpit space. Is yours an extra wide version? (or
do you just not have a pie retention issue )
