Hello,

Ive decided its best I replace the two foot-well pans in my HQ ute - particularly before I go and re-carpet, re-insulate the floor. They arent exactly rotten but seem very thin with a couple of pin holes and the drivers side has a little crack I assume is going to open up at some stage.

Not having had to do this before, are there any issues I should be careful with?

There are a few people selling these - has anyone experience on which might be better, which to avoid?

Finally, any feedback on what the expected cost is to have someone cut out the old and and re-weld the new pans in?

Thanks for reading.

Thanks very much for the advice.

Unfortunately Ive not learnt how to weld - being a pretty important area to get right as you said, I will need to find someone to do it for me.

I guess Id better get around and try to compare the quality of the avail
