Hi Alex,

Any idea if/when RD will produce a correct B T6 and C rear floor pan? The one I purchased from RD doesn't have the rear downward area to fit the rear bulkhead? Can I return this without the restocking fee?

Thanks.

Thanks Alex! I might be in need of a set at some point.

BTW: if you're having trouble loading photos check your web browser. If you're on Firefox that is the problem. Try IE8, Google chrome, or Safari.

Hi John, Can you be more specific on the B,C pans? I'm not sure what you mean.


Justin, yes I am using firefox, I will try another browser. Thanks.

Cheers, Alex

Thanks Alex! That looks like a really nice piece with well defined embossments and reliefs. Beautiful!

Hi Alex,

The rear bulkhead floor flange on the 356 B and C cars has a downward curve. The rear of the floor pan needs to mimic this in order for it to fit correctly. Below are pictures from Stoddard showing this. I try to buy my parts from RD, but the rear floor pan I bought doesn't have this concavity.



Rear floor pan for B/C.



Rear floor pan for A.

Thanks for the help.

Nice to see better products evolving in the industry of replacement sheetmetal.

Here is a real pre A pan delivered to us last week by Tony Proasi, one of our favorite parts hunters.

JOP, we do stock some simonsen floor pans for $500 a set, and they are as good as they get until the new owners start making more.
Justin also has a good rear pan section in the shop he can sell you if it is urgent.

Rusty, I think you must have mixed me "JOP" up with John

I only have about a 60 min drive to Thorkild and his Werkstatt

Really love your NNOS complete pre A pan....maybe just needs some fresh paint to be as good as new

John, thanks for the pictures and info.
We are always learning new and different things about these cars. It amazes me all the little differences that occur throughout the models and years. We want to provide the correct parts to bring these cars back to the original state. So any info pertaining to making our product 100% correct, is always appreciated. We just finished the 'A' front floor. Next will be the PRE-A and A rears. I guess we will have to re-tool our B and C pans too. Our European Distributor should have A and PRE-A pans in stock in s short while for all the guys across the lake.

Cheers, Alex

John, give me a call and we can set up a return on your pan.

Hey Alex,

I just saw this post and will give you a call in the AM.

Have a great Holiday Season.
