I posted several weeks ago about my rotten tub floor stiffeners. The
longitudinal aluminum floor stiffeners were corroded at each point where
supported by the steel crossmembers which in turn rest on the frame. I
obtained some U channel from home despot which is a very nearly perfect fit
to slip over the floor stiffeners and rivet to the stiffeners. Should be
pretty un-noticeable, and the material of the U channel, at 1/16th is about
the same thickness as the floor stiffeners appear to be. Just an FYI for
anyone who has signs of tub "settlement" like I did.
I elected to rivet a patch over the hole in the floor rather than seek out a
qualified welder to make the repair for me. I may yet rivet a plate over
the whole floor, with cutouts for the fuel tank top access points.
