Product Description
Brand New Replacement left and right side floor pans come complete with seat rails and jack mount. These are complete length & width floor pan halves and fit 1971 through 1972 VW Standard and Super Beetles. (Purchasing front & rear patch sections will NOT make a complete floor pan)The 1971-72 VW floor pan features inverted "T" seat rails. (The 1946-70 floor pans have inverted "L" seat rails.) Installation will require welding inner edge to chassis- just like original factory floor pans. Outer edge bolts to heat channel. Floor pan ships with black rust inhibitor. Floor pans will need to be sanded and primed prior to installation. Made in Brazil.
Note: The rear crossmembers and jack supports may not be welded to the floor pan!
We are doing all we can to keep the price of the floor pans as low as possible and loose pieces allow us to use a much
smaller box. As we and many other floor pan installers recommend using the original crossmember, this actually saves time
during the installation as the crossmember does not have to be removed from the replacement pan. We cover the process in
our floor pan installtion video.
Floor pans are made from .035" (20 Gauge) Sheet Metal.
There is NO substitute for original German Floorpans. If you still have them it may be worth the cost and effort to restore your OEM pans. It may strike you as odd for a business to advice you to keep your original parts, however we've learned from personal experience and trying out multiple floorpan manufacturers over the years that there simply is nothing better than OEM. As classic VW restorers ourselves, we know it is not always possible to restore a floorpan that has been rusted out after 30-40 years of weather and rock salt. This is why we offer the best aftermarket metal floorpans we can find. They are stamped from solid metal and guaranteed to fit.
NOTE: All sheet metal parts are sent with a black, sprayed, rust inhibitor. This is NOT paint or a primer. It must be removed prior to applying primer to the sheet metal. This includes fenders, floor pans, aprons, deck lids ETC. Because this material is not a primer, it is not unusual for scratches to be found in this material. This does not affect the sheet metal as this material MUST BE REMOVED, thus also removing any scratches in the process. Of course dents would be considered excessive. All sheet metal is carefully inspected prior to shipping for dents. Any sheet metal that is received dented must be presented to the shipping carrier for a damage claim, REGARDLESS OF THE CONDITION OF THE BOX.
Test fit your seats to the floor pan before welding the floor pans in place!Test fitting your seats before installation insures that you don't do twice the work! Seats, floor pans and even the chassis could have been swapped so make sure you test fit your seat to the floor pan before installing it.
A replacement pan to body seal and
floor pan hardware are recommended whenever installing new floor pans.We also recommend replacing the seat rail bushings when installing new floor pans.
