Ken,

I have the white plastic primer pump, which I have never used by the way. I'll check that too to make sure it's tight.

I didn't know they made pre-pressed floor pans for the 240D. I called a few restoration shops, and they said it was N/A for the 240D.

I went to a machine shop and took home a 4 foot square piece of 16 guage steel. I made a template out of cardboard and then cut the metal to my template. From there after it wasn't too hard, just lots of time with the Mig welder. The section that was rotted out wasn't too big, but I figured while I was there I would replace the entire floor under the driver's seat. I made brackets for the seat as well and welded them to the floor.

After I was done I coated both sides with black roofing tar which I thinned with a little kerosene and applied with a paint brush. This worked VERY WELL as a cheap undercoating.
