Floorboard material for driving cab?
« on: May 18, 2008, 04:08:52 pm »
I'm refurbing a SF Rush sit down cab and I need to replace the floorboard material because it's worn out. It's a textured, black rubber material between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick.

Any ideas where I can get such a thing? I checked Happ, but wasn't able to find anything, perhaps I just don't know where to look.

Maybe you could use "stress mat", like this one:

There are some other textures such as circlces available around the net as well.  You can get stuff like this in hardware stores and some auto parts stores, if you are not looking for an exact match.

Do you need any hardware for the cab?  I have a SF Rush the Rock wheel, pedals, shifter, power brick etc.  If you need something, let me know.  Good luck with your restoration.   :applaud:

Hoopz,

Rush the Rock is the cab I have and I do need a steering wheel as the current one on the cab is in pretty bad shape.

What condition is yours in?

PM sent as well.

I ended up getting some rubber floor material from Lowes. It's not as tough as the original stuff, but it should suffice for home use.

Here are a couple of pics.  If you want any closeups or a different angle, just let me know.

At my local Lowes they have some exercise mat stuff.
They have large sheets of thin stuff.
And thicker interlocking panels.

You could also try an exercise store as well, but the stuff at Lowes was less expensive.
Half of the people you meet are below average.

That stress matting looks perfect, but depending on how heavy the use is you could consider using real car carpetting for a less 'cold' feel, if you're not fussed about authenticity.
