Metal worms have eaten a few holes in my '68 Austin front floors. Original
pans have half round stiffening ribs pressed into them.
Is there any simple method of reproducing these ribs in sheet metal 0.034 to
0.040 inch thick using hand tools, arbor press, heavy vice or other simple
workshop tools.
Ribs are semi circular cross section 3/8 inch radius, longest rib about 9
inches, other ribs same size are at right angle but separated by 3/4 inch
from cross rib. Will be making up patches about 9 inches square.
Any ideas or methodology will be appreciated (not car crusher or Jewish
lightning please).
