Boot brackets

Post by Aginley »

Hi, had the boot floor replaced on the 970.
Looking to ad boot brackets but mine were too rotten to work out how they were fastened. Are the ones fastened to the floor spot welded on or riveted?
The ones on the rear bulkhead that the board slots into appear to be riveted on.
Manufacture date is November 64
Thanks chaps

Yes indeed, I have not long replaced mine with replicas. If you have your old ones the holes are a good guide for the rivet size.
