Cheers Steve. Your other posts were useful pointers............and the video! Think I've got a plan now. Will do a video collage at end for benefit of others. Offering up the Ali floor this weekend with the newly ordered Z supports but have some little chassis welds first

Which ones? "Stitching tekscrew fixing with rubber washer", second one down on that link looks the boy....?

Nope, new floor supports as per the e-bay link in my OP. I'll look again at welding them in vs Tigerseal w.r.t. the 30cm issue..... Floor is already out - tank, mounts, x-member etc all A1 It had a new x-member fitted by previous owner Mounts all in hand - see above posts ^^^^^^^ I'll do a full report once job is done for benefit of others

Tony Excellent! I'll have those off you please, cheers. Will drop by soon Rob

Thanks for the pointers.....mine has these buckles on top of the floor http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/8568/MXC7264-REAR-SEAT-BELT-ANCHOR-PLATE-ASSY.html?search=seat belt&page=1 . I'm sure the location on upper side is in a ridge so the buckle may not fit in the recess...? Perhaps the alloy floor had these originally...? http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/16237/MRC4655-REAR-SEAT-BELT-ANCHOR-BRACKET-CENTRE.html?search=seat belt&page=1

Need to double check the twin buckle mounts that my '93 has will fit in the Ali floor recess width........not so sure...

Boot floor replacement mission plan: Having reviewed loads of forum articels on here and LROi the plan is to seal the new replacement floor supports (http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4ab0b3816d) in with PU sealant (sticks like sh*t to a blanket (http://forums.lr4x4....showtopic=75082) and a few choice located bolts or rivets along their length. Should be as strong as weld and floor is non-structural (allegedly) as RR has separate chassis........ An old Classic Ali floor will then be sealed in place with butyl mastic and rivetted - I can them remove in future with ease. Will also use butyl mastic to seal in the original front and rear rubber sealing strips for the Ali floor. Seat belt anchors a little challenge as the steel floor has flat areas for their location - Ali doesn't... Comments gratefully received

Not a silicone based one as it will "interfere" with the painting process!!!

Cheers for the advice so far....Boot floor replacement mission plan: My plan is to seal the new replacement floor supports (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LANDROVER-DISCOVERY-REAR-FLOOR-REPAIR-KIT-/320792133997?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4ab0b3816d) in with PU sealant and a few choice located bolts or rivets along their length.

Cheers Tony....will drop by soon for that PU........

Hi I'm after the relevant page of the Disco parts manual for rear seat belt anchor parts. I only have RR parts manual and want to cross reference. Thanks in advance Rob

Cheers Tony!

What would people recommend then for sealing an ali floor into a Classic with the option of future removal as it looks like PU sealant is not the right stuff for the job I have in mind........

What's the latest?

Britpart fit like a glove...........got a full set in my Classic and very pleased.

Was that cheaper than buying their fibreglass covered version? Done by courier?

Cheers chaps!

Cool. PM sent.

Which is the right one to use for sealing panels / welds etc? I understand that no silicone based sealants should be used only a PU one. I think 221 is the "one" but just wanted to check with the experts on here http://www.uksealants.co.uk/product.asp?idproduct=215 Thanks in advance Rob

OK. Cheers for that. I'll look in the Haynes doe removing wing. Looks easy enough........

Can the rear quarter panel (where tail lights mount) be removed without removing the rear outer wing panel? This bit: http://www.famousfou...php?partID=9509 Thanks! Rob

2hrs later and it's out with nothing broken - there's a first!

What's the plan with the bottom edge of rear wing then?

Done. Ta. Next job, remove floor with spot weld drill - where's there's metal left The spot welds aren't easy to see

Thanks.....!
