I really need to get this old cruiser road worthy again so can anyone recommend somewhere to get a drivers side floor pan from or made up, the panel is the same on the Humber Sceptre and the Singer Vogue but so far I have drawn a blank with all the usual avenues. ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

You won't find a ready made floorpan unless you cut it out of another car - you need a sheet of steel, a big hammer and some tin snips . . .

Hmmm that's what I've been thinking tbh fogey, the flat pan in front of the pedals doesn't look to bad to do but the shaped area before the seats looks an absolute nightmare, the only thing would be to have a flat floor up to the seat.

Just in case you've not noticed the legendary thread on here ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Suggest you sit down with a brew and start at page 1 for inspiration The pics from my floorpan repairs should give you an idea of what's in store. retrorides.proboards.com/thread/70135/panels?page=26I used a 1mm slitting disk on an angry grinder to cut out the rot, then just fit new metal in sensible sized sections. Hope you get sorted, pics are always welcome ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

Got any pictures of the pan? I make panels for a living Thanks for he offer but this is going to get patched, after some more investigation it doesn't look as bad as I first thought so it will leave me some spare cash to get it lowered a bit. May need to save up for a welder if this carries on though ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) (And it will!!). Oh and thanks for the inspiration Nomad. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Progress----- the floor is now sorted and the Minx lives to fight another day ![](http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac224/retrolegends/Mobile%20Uploads/image-113.jpg) ![](http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac224/retrolegends/Mobile%20Uploads/image-112.jpg) ![](http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac224/retrolegends/Mobile%20Uploads/image-114.jpg) Floor sorted then, a bit agricultural but it's in keeping with the rest of the car and it was done for a bargain price. ![](http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac224/retrolegends/Mobile%20Uploads/image-111.jpg) View from the back seat ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ![](http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac224/retrolegends/Mobile%20Uploads/image-115.jpg) Tbh I was toying with the idea of selling the old scrapper but I would only end up buying another load of trouble so I may as well plough on with this and when this is where I want it I still have the Allegro, better the devil you know I suppose. I may have them both done in about 20 or 30 years!

So it turns out the repair to the accelerator wasn't the best of efforts as I went for a spin this morning and this happened! ![](http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac224/retrolegends/Mobile%20Uploads/image-119.jpg) Leaving the rod where the pedal once was, no probs though as now I can make a custom pedal up! Every cloud and all that!! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ![](http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac224/retrolegends/Mobile%20Uploads/image-120.jpg) ![](http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac224/retrolegends/Mobile%20Uploads/image-121.jpg) Also added my little tribute to the King, he would have been 80 years old on the 8th of January. ![](http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac224/retrolegends/Mobile%20Uploads/image-122.jpg) Happy New Year folks. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Cars looking good, Shame about the pedal though. What are you thinking of doing for a repair?

Probably use a steel plate welded to some tube and then bolt it onto the shaft, I can get it sorted at work quite easily. Absolutely no chance of getting another pedal so as long as it's safe and big enough it will do. Or I could do this...... ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) ![](http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac224/retrolegends/imagejpg1-2.jpg)

Ha Ha! I think the floor on mine last looked like that around 1972 Raidon!!! Yours looks rock solid! Perfect for a V8 conversion.
