Welded 1/8th in plate from the rear "bulkhead" forward to span the factory recess in the floor pan. Then trussed it with 1/8th inch plate to fill the recess, kicking the legs out at about a 20 deg angle. We re-mounted the seat this afternoon, and I'm happy to report no flexing of the floor anymore! Peeling up that Peel and Seal really did suck though!
Where did you get the "Seal and Seal" Im in Sedalia
