 Hello Paul

  

 Two or three small dobs of car bog (Bondo, Body  Filler) stragetically placed will hold the floors rigid.  From memory, if  you have the floors nicely shaped and fitting well, they tend to sit where they  should anyway.  Note it is very important that both floors are in the same  plane otherwise the tufnol bearings will not align properly.

  

 Regards

Paul,



If it´s any help:

I found that whatever you do, the blocks will NOT align properly. Any micrometer off in positioning or torsion will block the whole lot. Trial, error, and a lot sanding and fitting are the recipe.
