Floor fasteners

Hi everyone
I am not sure how the floor plates are held in place,My first GPA had mainly 5/16 in pan screws.I have seen most gpas have 5/16 in hex bolts.What do you think is correct? :roll:

GPA Floor

Does anybody know what the 3 threaded 5/16 in holes in the front passenger side floor are used for?I have always wondered.And the brackets on the inside wall of the passenger side hull are for?There seems to be so many mysteries to a GPA,I thing thats why I like them so much,just like a woman.

Fan

Thanks Peter
I have been able to gain a little more clearance as i found the shroud was not perfectly round.I think it is about 3/8 in or a little more now and I have adjusted the radiator position a little.

Battery support

Hi David
Have you considered making the right and left battery supports and tray?they always seem to go missing or just rust away.
What about the support for the passanger front seats i could do with a pair of them.
