Signor Galvani has a lot to answer for!

Typical Landy job, something that seems straightforward turns into a major project!
I needed to renew one of the tub cappings on a 300TDi County 90 SW, which means taking off the roof, rear seats out etc.
Turns out to be a huge amount of corrosion under the carpet where the rear seat belt bars are anchored - steel on top, steel reinforcing plate underneath, ali sandwiched in the middle = disaster area. Other lighter corrosion on the floor is treatable with the correct procedure.
Seems to me that the best solution may be just to look for a decent 200/300 tub - what does anyone else think?
Thanks,
Anthony

Thanks, guys, that would be a simpler and cheaper solution than changing the tub and would be covered by the carpets. The other areas are the front seatbelt mountings in the front corners of the tub - will have a better look at these but presumably not just a County problem.

Galvani is the guy who realised there were electric potential differences between different metals, and that a noble metal such as gold would eat a poor one like zinc. Hence zinc sacrificial anodes on boats.
