I’ve pulled some parts of the floor out now. The one bolt left holding it all in place came out without issue. I’m amazed that despite the hideous corrosion, those bolts that remain have come out without issue. I’ve had to chisel of a couple of nuts that were so corroded there was little left of them but the armour screws have been very good, almost a pleasure considering I expected to cut everyone of them out. I have to say the quality of material used on the bolts is much better than my 42 GPW. And talking of my GPW, it came with a non standard starter button that I kept (I rarely throw anything away) and it turns out it’s a halftrack starter so one less thing to buy, even ifs only a cheap part NOS.
Here is the louvre lever and what’s left of the floor mount.
