Zedd Findings?

[yoogener]

So my '71 240z has the usual major floor panel rust and now that my suspension is all about to be put in, I think I should start welding in new floors. I've been looking at this site www.datsunzparts.com of Zedd Findings. Researching through other Z forums, I hear a lotta good word on this company's floor panels and that they actually distribute their parts to MSA. Would you guys agree to me purchasing floor panels from here?

If so, I got another question. The rust is directly in the center of the floor panel and doesn't seem to have spread beyond it. Should I still order the Floors and Support Rail set or just the Floors?

Zedd Findings is my choice for floor replacement / sheet metal products. I don't think you will be disappointed. I suggest that before you buy anything you find a welder to do the work and discuss what needs to be done along with your expectations of the finished product. Your floor may just need a metal patch. Is the rust over the frame rail? What does the frame rail look like? have you cleaned the area to see how much damage there really is? All of this will help you decide.

I installed his floor in my Z and found that the fit was vary good and quality first rate. Charley told me not to cut out the old floor untill I received the new pannels and I agree. The floors come with the center support and it should be installed with it . The sheet metal of the new floors is thicker gague metal . I took my Z to a certified welder and he TIG welded it in. He tried his mig but the Zs sheet metal is so thin it kept blowing through. I cut away the old floor and allowed about a 2'' overlap . I fitted the panel in place and held it using self tapping sheet metal screws. As the welder welded the seam he removed the screws and filled the holes. Welded the seame of the overlap under the floor as well. All bare metal was then treated and sealed with POR both inside and under. If you would like pictures send me a pm Gary

Bean, if you don't mind my asking, what did the welder charge you for this? ($)

I had some patches welded on the driver side and I removed the battery tray because of surface rust in the area. When doing so I cut through the inner fender with a spot weld cutter. Making a couple of holes in the inner fender . My welder welded in a 1 1/2 sheet metal strip where the battery tray is connected to the inner fender, he also filled the holes from the weel well side. All this cost me $350.00 . I have pictures . Gary
