Re: Project: Recycle
It's just carbon steel.
I was going to have a buddy tack weld it in place from the bottom,... and then finish weld it from the top. I wanted something thicker than sheet metal, so I could tap the holes and use stainless machine screws instead of sheet metal screws.

I actually considered doing a little from each of my choices from the previous pics (weld in a flat piece of steel across multiple floor runners beveling the edges between to match the factory & simply mount the filler in the center). I figured if my 1st attempt didn't work out, it's simply a matter of cutting it out @ welding in the flat piece.

Re: Project: Recycle
SCOTI, we should have spent more time, as yours looks better, but the filler landed to the far right of one of the humps, and as i stated we took the EASY way out. Keith i like that adapter plate, well thought out.

Re: Project: Recycle
That method is similar to what I was thinking if my initial attempt didn't work out. The only thing different was I figured I would finish out the flat portion between the OE runners w/some steel to match the 45° runner 'sides'.
