I'm interested in any idea's too, to be honest I'm tending towards treating the floor with rust remover, then seeing what simple
black hammerite looks like.
When I bough it, the car already had checker plate in the drivers footwell, looks OK, but am thinking of maybe a non-slip rubber mat cut to shape
instead?

I used ali chequer plate on top of the steel floor, but I did think of using that industrial rubber matting with raised circles on it if you know what
I mean:

I've got rubber flooring that has little raised diamond shapes on it. I wanted the industrial look!
In reality I wanted flooring that wouldn't get spoiled if it got wet (no roof, no windscreen). In the same way, I've got GRP seats with
vinyl pads.
Oh - it also stops the welded steel floor 'bonging' every time I climb in.

flooring
this might sound daft at first but !!!!!
what about that textured lino stuff from carpet shops they do all sorts of textures immitation chequer plate industrial effects
diamonds and ripple weaves etc and it would be simple to cut and fit and waterproof
what do think

locor1's is carbon effect I think? looks very smart!
Steve, the rubber mats also look quite smart, can I ask where you got the rubber? I'd need to get some cutting practice in before I attempted
it, but seems ideal for what I want!

I have a CoachTrimmers in the next town so i bought some off them.
They do have a webshite though, and they do deliver.
They were also at Stoneleigh last year so I assume they might be there this year too?

Just found this thread, Somebody stole a picture of my car
I got my floor from "Here" its 1.5mm aluminium 3 bar (cricket
weave) down at the bottom of the page on the link,
I've used it over a steal floor so didn't want Checker plate to thick and heavy, the guy i spoke to couldn't of been more helpful,
all cut to size and delivered for £40
Although I'm starting to have withdrawal symptoms with the lose of my lovely carpet

After the powder coating on my floor lifting I painted it with rustproofing paint and when it was dry I stuck on some self adhesive anti slip .Does
what it says , now my feet don't slide about and going to do the passengers side as well . Stuff I used was left over from a wheel chair ramp
but is similar to skateboard decking.

I used industiral floor covering stuff. The kind of none slip Lino type stuff that they stick down in hotel kitchens etc. Done in lots of colours and
lighter than lino, rubber and ally checker.

I'm doing my best sheep impression as well! LocoR1 floor looks amazing so I also called metalsdirect.
Completely stupid question now but..... They asked for measurements. did you send a template or just measurements? don't suppose you still have
the measurements that I can steal from you?
i am very new to this locost thing, didn't build just bought my MK indyblade ready made. i'm starting to tinker but having to start with
the very basics.
Many thanks

Hi, I just had them cut to size as rectangles then cut the angles for the front two with a jig saw.
Didn't keep the measurements but they wouldn't be any good to you anyway the tunnel on an indy is different especially at the front.

I was thinking of using a thick kevlar weave with trimmed edges (no epoxy). Id go for carbon but its pretty abrasive and I dont think it hold up to
constant rubbing well either. Anyone know for sure?
