Installed Home Depot floor in my 379

Also the gear shifter covers do not over lap like I thought it did. So if you need an idea on how to make it nice around gear shifter let me know. I came up with a great idea and it worked nice. Any questions. Ask away. It’s a learning experience and I definitely learned off of this on how I could do things better

 

With a pete 379 this comes out to almost stock height of flooring. I added 2 washers to each seat mount bolt becuase it was a tad higher and didn’t want to buckle the floor planks tightening down but other than that, the door trim and everything else fell into place nicely

 

The style planks I listed are 3.8mm thick according to the specs. The dynamat is probably about the same thickness. The hard foam mat is 1/2 inch thick. It came out to be a tad high from stock heaight. So without the dynamat, it would come out perfect. So like I said if you go that route, the door sills will still fit as normal but you will want to use 2 washers on each seat stud so as not to create a deflection in the planks when tightening seat down. The planks won’t break but you won’t want the floor to look like that. The hard snap together hope Depot planks can and will crack where you snap them together after a while if things aren’t just right. Those one are 7mm thick. That’s why I recommend these planks.

 

If you do tackle this project this weekend. Just take your time and don’t get frustrated. Once you start getting antsy, that’s where start messing up and wasting planks. I was lucky to where I messed up one plank. And at the end I had zero planks left over. I had a bunch of cut pieces but almost had to get another box just for one plank.

 

I really should have documented the whole install to make these easier for other people. Sorry man. Any handyman that installs flooring Could do this install pretty quick within a few hours as long as you put down the sub floor and have it ready. Try craigslist or anyone local. Might be an odd request for them but they will appreciate the opportunity
