My floor plates are brake-ing.

Now that I almost have the tire situation sorted out, I need to get my brakes fixed. In order for me to actually use the brakes though, I need the floor plates in place so I have somewhere to put my feet.

The floor plates are good, thick diamond plate. They're pretty rusted, and there's a lot of paint on the underside. That bracket on the right hand one is actually a drawer support for an old tool box, the box is long gone, but I can order a new one if I'm so inclined in the future. Or, I can make my own.











I built some new brake rods out of threaded 5/16ths rod stock. Bent them, welded the corners to reinforce them, and drilled a tiny hole for a cotter pin.
