I need to replace the front floor sections of my 76 Clubby as they have rusted out too badly for me to do a sensible repair job on. I have seen people mention on here about buying various pattern parts and how their quality and fitment have been pretty woeful so I wondered if there were any recommendations for who I should buy from and if there is anywhere I should definitely avoid?

I buy most of my bits from UK: prices are great and freight gets here within 7 days.

Keep each purchase less than $1000 and avoid duty in Australia.

Some panels differ between UK and Aussie models so do a little homework or ask on here before committing to buy.
Things like floor pressings etc might be slightly different but nothing that a panel hammer and dolly can't tune to fit. Try to buy the BH panels, I'very found them good quality.

The floor sections on your clubby are different too uk ones.

But the aussie ones from minisport adelaide. Pretty decent fit.

Good to hear that these are a decent panel. My reason for asking the the question about these panels was driven by the differing costs of what appear on the surface to be the same item and the MiniSport item comes in at around 75% of the price of other suppliers. I don't want to use the UK panels due to the different profile (no pipe/cable channel) so it looks like MiniSport will be the ones I use.

Thanks for the input.

Or karcraft at a cheaper price

Really? I have one of their price lists (albeit 12 months old) and they were more expensive.

Minis plus is in vic, have a look on their website, I'm pretty sure they can supply you with the correct panel. Their prices are pretty good too.

Pork pies. Minisport are actually cheaper in this instance provided you can get it posted for under 35 bucks.

I'm trying to post the link but my phone is being argumentative.

You can't go past karcraft, the prices in their book are usually dearer than the price you pay. Speak to Tim.

Doogie
