Roger K Posted December 10, 2020 Report Posted December 10, 2020 I'd be very grateful if someone could post a through the floor and sills of a GT6 MkIII. I'm trying to work out how the various panels attach. On the inside of the car, the floor wells seem to curve upwards into the inner sill - is this right? Or does the floor flange turn down to meet the inner sill and outer sill in a triple layer? Thanks Roger
NonMember Posted December 10, 2020 Report Posted December 10, 2020 Floor flange turns down to meet the centre membrane and outer sill. The inner sill sits on top of the floor slightly inboard of that. If you have a bit curving up then it sounds like a fairly typical patch repair, a.k.a bodge. Mine had some of those when I bought it.
Roger K Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Posted December 10, 2020 Thanks, that's helpful. Does the inner sill come down onto the floor vertically, with an inward facing 90˚ flange on top of the floor?

I'm not quite clear on what you're describing (although I think SM misinterpreted it). The inner sill, part 806638/9 in this drawing, has a small lip along the bottom edge, which faces away from the car centre line, so that it's hidden when assembled.
Roger K Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Posted December 10, 2020 Thanks Rob, that is what I meant. I've checked, and the curved appearance I mentioned is actually the factory seam sealer, still covered in the original paint.
ed.h Posted December 11, 2020 Report Posted December 11, 2020 I don't have a drawing, but there are some pics of the construction on this page and on some subsequent pages up to about page 39: http://bullfire.net/GT6/GT6-34/GT6-34.html Ed
Roger K Posted December 11, 2020 Author Report Posted December 11, 2020 Perfect, thanks all. That Bullfire link is going to be very useful, thanks Ed!
