Assembly Help?
 

I am not sure what is supposed to hold down the metal plate that goes on the floor board around the shifter and emergency brake. Any help or maybe a photo or two would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks and have a great and safe weekend.

It is not screwed down. There are three tabs that are riveted to the upper (1) and lower (2) floorboards. These tabs rotate into position to hold the plate down and also allow for easy removal.

If you have a Bratton's catalog look on page 111.

Rivets are best but I was in a hurry to get mine on my huckster so I used screws to hold the tabs down. Problem with screws is they become loose when you use them and have to be tighten often.

Guess the old stubborn dutchman has to go full speed ahead when into something and doesn't look for the harmonious outcome-at least that is what my wife tells me!
