Anyone have a proper repair panel for the LH side footwell? both laters rusted out, but upper portion is ok. Not sure if anyone has a properly made double wall setup like OE, but i'd be open to what you have.

Also interested in leads on which to buy. I could just make it as it seems a simple piece of angled sheetmetal, but figured I'd ask whats out there. YRM looks good but likely pricey to ship. Thanks.

Before I got a new bulkhead I made a template from cardboard and had a HVAC shop make me a patch panel $35 bucks.

The double wall isn't worth it, it's why it rusted through

We make our own and they work great.
These are custom made of thicker steel and fit both RH or LH.
You simply make a cardboard template and measure, then cut the inward edge out and discard it.
When repairing the left foot well, you have to cut the right side and when repairing the right foot well, you cut the left side.
Then you weld or pop rivet the panel in place and drill holes for the floor board screws.

No more having to buy the whole expensive bulkhead repair panel and cut out only the section you need to make a repair.
