I may need some patch panels to replace portions of the floor in my 912. They aren't rusted completely through, just a few pin-holes but the material is thin and somewhat flexible in a few locations.

Anyway, I don't want to purchase $440 worth of pans from restoration design just to cut them up for patch panels.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good source for some old pan sections? These things have to be getting hard to find.

Maybe I'll end up buying restoration design pans and selling the parts I don't use?

Also, what years should be similar? My car is a 67.

Pictures coming soon

Thanks

Andy

I believe the SWB/LWB differences were all aft of the rear seat area, so the pans would be identical. They made the rear suspension arms longer, moving the wheels back in relation to the body.

Other changes (that are not related to the wheel base) were made at the same time, so the SWB/LWB demarcation is a convenient one for other parts. Even if they don't have anything to do with the wheel base.
