Floor Strips

I was able to have a friend weld up the broken floor strips so I can use the originals. The alloy welds but doesn’t want to fill so they’re a little finicky to weld up. I cleaned them all up by filing the welds, bead blasting, then brushing them. I manually bent them back into shape.

I borrowed a rivet squeezer that should make it easy to install solid aluminum rivets quickly and easily without messing up the paint. It’s a TATCO rivet squeezer with a 5” yoke from Brown Tool

The next step is to actually install the strips and see how it works out.
