Heritage is the favorit.

Not only because of the correct shape, also the coating is top quallity (rather usfull in the floor areas).

Very important are the matching beadings with the rest of the original floor panel. It always looks tinkered when the beadings are not in line or have to be modulated to match with the rest of the panel.

I don't know any significent changes of the floor panels. Despite of the 59er floor panels with the larger moulding I can just imagin the radius on the r/h floor panel for the starter switch. But this can be modified easily with a cut out.

I already used the Heritage panels for MK1 and MK2 Minis sucessfully with high attention to original shape.

I would use mini machine. Panels are always good , i rebuilt alot of my mk1 with them . They also do inner and outer sills in one section, I I bet they also do the with floor sections as well if needed

Plus there catalogue has a good lay out.
