How big are the holes?
can you show pics?

Normally you can weld a metal plate in same thikness than the original floor over the holes or do it with fiberglass...
But just weld at the edge of the plate...

But before you do send a pic please...

Regards
Mike

I wouldn't have said anything, welded a 1/8'' piece of steel down on the floor and layed a couple of layers of deadener down over it.

No one would have ever known

but now since they have brought it up and fix it to what one judge says.

Another jude will know to look for it and won't agree with how it was fixed and dq them.

I've learned its better to not ask then to leave it up to the judges who never agree on anything

I hope your hole is not as bad as mine!

I looked up an OEM replacement floor pan to figure out how thick the metal was and got the equivalent thickness steel sheet metal at Lowes for my repair.

I'm assuming that it will be legal - hope so anyway as I can't compete with a giant hole either [Smile]
