The adventure continues.........I am disassembling TC2850 in order to
restore it to its former glory. As instructed by the manual, in order to remove
the engine and gearbox the floorboards need to be removed. Much to my
surprise, I found that they were not attached to the frame! Here are my questions:
1. Should there be a rubber strip between the floorboards and the frame?
2. It appears that 3 bolts and nuts hold the outside edges, true?
3.What is the bolt size that holds the floorboards to the drive shaft cover?
4. Should the upholstery excess be under the boards or on top?
5. Is this information available in a publication?
I know its a lot of questions but my ignorance runs deep. This is my first
TC and its a lot different than the TD. Thanks, Tom TC 2850

Hi Tom,
1) There are rubber strip under the floorboards and frame similar to the
strips you have under the fuel tank.
2) There are three nuts built in to there frame, and the frame is fixed to
the chassis by two bolts and nuts on each side.

Hello Tom,
I had a grievous misfortune with 1704 in 1966. When I replaced
the (exhaust system, transmission tunnel, gearbox, prop. shaft:
delete where inapplicable), I had chucked the WOODEN strips
between the propshaft tunnel flange and the floorboards. After
twenty-five miles of running down to Heathrow, where I happened
to be working at the time, I was enveloped in voluminous clouds
of - no doubt - toxic smoke from the slowly burning nearside
(L/H) floorboard which was then sitting directly on the silencer
(muffler!)
Regards, David Lodge

I am about to coat the plywood floorboards for TC 2850. I have used spar
varnish on the rest of the wood to protect it from moisture. I am afraid that
the varnish will not protect floorboards from a possible, (Ha-ha) oil leak.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what protectant would work? Also, what
type of screwheads hold down the floorboards? Thanks, Tom TC2850,
disassembled

Tom,
The leaked oil has protected my original floorboards for 59 years!
(Probably not the advice you wanted to hear, though)
Cheers from windy Vancouver Island,
Nigel

I used spar varnish on mine in 1957, especially on the edges of the plywood,
and they still look like new even with brake fluid spills, and oil spills.

Who supplies the best quality TC floorboards these days? Moss sells
them and they are within driving distance from me, although their price
is higher than others I've seen. Perhaps the quality warrants the price?
