[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 235987, member: 7076"] Last night I was able to get the floor laid down and fit into place. It's definitely a tight fit with the side panels, but the weight of the flooring seems to spread the side panels apart with a little extra persuasion. I drilled holes for the additional seating locations and added the covered swivel bases before I dropped the floor in place. [ATTACH type="full" alt="110106 - IMG_1004.jpg"]31729._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="110106 - IMG_1005.jpg"]31730._xfImport[/ATTACH] The addition of the floor thickness and width took care of the problem I was having with the seat boxes. They'll drop right in place now. [ATTACH type="full" alt="110106 - IMG_1006.jpg"]31731._xfImport[/ATTACH] I also put the hinged cover for the seat boxes in place to check the new height. The previous seats sat directly on the plywood cover. The new Tempress seats require the swivel bases, so they add a few inches to the overall height. They are not too high, but they make it a little difficult to see some of the gauges and switches. Not really a big deal though. I'm still stuck on whether to paint the currently white seat frames black. I think that it will really look good, but as I stated before, I'm concerned that the paint will chip and flake at the drop of a hat. What's the opinion of the group?? Keep them white or go black?
