Good work mate. Those floor sections are a pain around the A pillar, I used the autocraft and that was off too. When I put mine in I panicked thinking I’d welded my A pillar on the piss but alas it was just another poor fitting repro panel.

Yea I did the same little panic. But then realised everything else was lining up properly. Tbh I don't know why they just don't leave some green and we cut it back to suit. The passenger side was the same. Fiddly but very satisfying job tbh. Sort of feel like it's starting to look like something real.

Hey brains trust, can someone help me, please.
I think I can salvage this accelerator pedal mount. But it's on a very weird angle, I assume that's factory? Do I just basically copy the angle/location into mine? Anything to watch for?
Tia.

I just bought a new one and copied the angle but ended up finishing the bus and adjusting to my preference then bolted it to the floor

If your using an original floor mat it needs to be in the same place to fit. You can also use the mat to confirm the position before welding.

Thanks all. I don't plan on using the original floor mat. I think I might "save" it then keep it unwelded for now until I can sit in it and set it all up to suit me. Much appreciated.

Hi mate, sorry what I wrote could be taken a couple of ways. I don't actually have a floor mat, all that stuff was long gone when I got it. But anything I am not using on my build I will be passing onto others for theirs once I know I don't need it.
