      Transmission tunnel broadens out to suit the gearbox and bell housing. I would suggest minimum 4mm plate, perhaps a bit of reinforcing beneath the seat mounts.

      1984 Marlin Roadster SWB.
      1800TC, Unleaded ported head, stage 2 cam. Ford Type 9 gearbox, Dolomite Sprint rear axle fitted with MGF disc brakes.
      Three core radiator, Renault Clio vented front discs.
      The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

      Loads of Marlin Reference can be found documents here or there.

          Hi Neil As Steve says 4mm should be ok as that is what Marlin used on the later floor lowering option. If you use checker plate you shouldn't need re-enforcing.
