In the conversion of my RF98 to Novak F1000 kit, I am doing a frame up rebuild, and have an opportunity to optimize my new floor pan design. I sent a private email to Coop, as he has the same car as me, but thought maybe the rest of the FB community might also have some good ideas on floor pan strategy.
I have a 4'x12' sheet of 7075 T6 Aluminum, so that is my only constraint.
So how about:
Making the pan one piece from the front bulkhead all the way to the start of the diffuser ? Also bonded to the Novak subframe ?
Extending the pan out past the side pods ...under the side pod floors ?
Extending the pan out in front of the pods like the new Phoenix (I believe) ?
Give me some good ideas....
Thanks in advance.................Gary
