A few months ago, I said I would add "skid plates" to my offerings.

The very next week, I got bids and quoted from my machine shop/powder coating shop. We discussed Aluminum Vs Steel Vs Stainless. We decided that Powder coated 16-gauge steel would be the ticket. My machine shop owner says that Detroit does not use any steel over 16 gauge for its floors.

These one piece "skid plates" reinforce the bottom 6" of the front of the foot boxes. They also reinforce the bottom of the foot box. They will be riveted on the outside of the box to absorb the blow of any foreign object kicked up by the tires that might want to get inside the foot box.

They are to be riveted and glued/siliconed into place. They can be added to a completed FFR MKI or MKII. Not sure about a MK III yet, but im checking.

Since they are professionally powder-coated the paint will be very durable. And, they can easily be repainted any color one desires. The standard color, as received, is a silver that closely matches our aluminum foot boxes.

The composite puncture resistance of the standard foot box plus the 16-gauge steel will be many times the standard foot box skin. Since this is essentially a sandwich of Aluminum, Steel, Glue its hard to say just how much but my machine Shop guys says MANY TIMES.
