Henry-
Boy am I going to miss that unique "burnt orange" . I recently repaired the
floor of my 6 with Por's repair kit. It contains the following.....
1 Qt. black por 15
1 Qt. silver por 15
1 Qt. black frame paint
1 sheet metal screening (texture is very fine and resembles fiberglass
strands) enough to do at least one half(drivers side) of my floors plus some
left over.
1 pt of rust neutralizer (zinc coating) w/spray attachment
3 or 4 pair of rubber gloves
various cheap brushes, widths of 3/4" to11/2"
I was impressed with the overall results as for me it was much less expensive
than the "proper" repair. My floor had holes as large as 11/4" diameter and was
very solid when finished. The only drawback that I can forsee would be having
to repair the repair!It would be quite impervious to sandblasting etc. etc.
My cost was 120.00 w/shipping for the kit.I could send some pix if interested.
