Retrofit Lowered Floor to SV
Discussion
I'm looking at a purchasing an RoadSport RV that Caterham currently have.
Is it possible to retro fit a lowered floor to it (the Car is the spec I want bar the lowered floor) but being a muppet I forgot to ask whilst I was at the dealership (basic mistake I know) as the car I was sitting in already had a lowered floor.
Anyone able to shed some light for me? I guess as it's available on the parts site, my answer is yes, but as they are now shut until tuesday, I can't ask them.
Is it is possible - anyone know what I'm likely to be charged for the work to be done?
If the answer is yes, I may be phoning them to arrange getting it transferred from "up north" to "down south"
Cheers

I had it done on my SV, so definitely can be done by Caterham. You can fit it yourself but there are a lot of rivets to drill out and reinsert. Caterham can do it for you and they have the proper rivetter rather than you developing Popeye-like forearms.
Cost was about £400. From memory this was £250 for the floor and c£100 for the fitting - about £400 with VAT. May well be more now as this was 4 years ago.

Definitely doable, should you have the time and the patience.
There are 260 rivets / side...
You'll need a tube of marine sealant..
Best to have a 90 degree offset air-drill, and a floor slider and 4 jack stands to get your car 2' from the floor
Plan on 2 weekends if doing your self; removal weekend, installation weekend
you may also need a air-powered metal-nibbler, chasis' vary very slightly....
