It has been driven but low mileage for several years, about 1500/ year I guess. But point taken - I just ordered new belts from Brookhouse, hopefully arriving Wednesday, so I'll delay the visit to the welder til the end of the week and keep searching around until then.
The galvanised sections look pretty purpose made and fitted (to me!) - pic attached. The carpet was still stuck down with rubber stuff and the plate seems to be held in place with mastic that looks to have the original paint on, and the same-shape plate on each side is level with the rest of the floor, and covering a recess with cables in it. That said, any problem with rusted floors will be under that plate! What do you think?
