Hi, I have 1968 Mini Matic that has on the rear floor 2 small square welds. They have never been ground back. Is this peculiar to the Matic or do I have something different. |

I think you might have something different. My 68 minimatic doesn't have the squares, just normal mini body minus the gear stick hole. |

Mine is 3/70 and the same, no welds. Perhaps is floor reinforcing under the rear of the seat frame? I have seen floors crack through there when BIG people have owned Minis.... |

Email them to me and I'll host them for you. Or look at the how to post pics thread in `how-to' forum. http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10405 |

OK Wedlock just sent me 2 pics of the offending floor, here they are: 
Sorry, I have NFI what they were, but they don't look factory to me. |

I'd almost say damage repairs but the rest of the floor looks to straight

Weird, there is in the second pic a definite square but nothing like the welded ones. Looks like a some sort of a punched mark but way too symmetrical. |

I think there are tabs welded there underneath to hold pipes etc. It's a 67> hydro floor with the channels in. |
