dirkthe1 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 ive read a few of the threads on here on replacing rusted footwells but i couldnt find an answer to my specific bit; If i cut out all the rust, what are the requirements of what goes back in there- i.e. could i make up a footwell out of perspex?! cheers geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Although rusty footwells tend to pass the MOT, the fact is they really shouldn't in most cases under the 30cm rule. 'Should be' steel plate and seam welded. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

errol209 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 What's critical that's within 30cms? The bulkhead mounting onto the bulkhead outrigger and the pedal boxes perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
