Bucket Seat Floor Braces Continued
Weld through primer used.
Just a recap, the '66 gal 500 XL and 7 Litre models use a full length rear brace and a reinforced front brace.
I've knelt on the rear bench seat brace where the bucket seat would normally attach and the floor does move a bit, you really need that full brace to properly support the bucket seat.
There's the difference in the front brace.
I used POR 15 on the floor to rocker seam, then once that dried I used urethane seam sealer to further seal it.
You can see it's just bare steel and this needs to be stripped and primed.
Getting there, it's still a snowy mess outside so sandblasting outside is out of the question so I'll have to do this the old fashioned way.
Done.
