Hi,
My FS-65 turns 27 this September, and I was naive enough to try to save the original floors in the bus. They were made of an extra thick rubber, that allowed skis and sharp objects not to poke holes into the floor of the bus. After I de-seated the bus and started walking in places where old seats were, I noticed soft spots.. I decided to remove the rubber floor and the original floor that the rubber was placed on top of, I discovered the infamous rotten wooden subfloor.
I need help, I have the bus down to the bare metal floor, there's rust, but no holes (besides seat bolt holes).
How do I remove the rust (Will naval jelly help?)
How and should I fill the bolt holes at the metal level?
What wood should I use for the subfloor?
Are peel-n'-stick floor tiles any good?
Is there a layer I'm missing (Yes I will put some kind of sealant on the bare metal)
