Ducato squidgy between the cab seats (86 Viewers)

[Jewellbags]

Any one else noticed that the floor between the Ducati cab seats seems to flex a lot when stood on and quite cold on a cold morning . Wondering if it’s worth investigating or not

It’s a removable panel to get access to fuel tank and wiring.

Our Carthago is is like that, Hymer fit a wooden floor over that area.

Well at least I know it’s common and I won’t fall through naked in the morning

My engine battery is under a plastic cover, under a padded bit of flooring. There’s also a metal cover directly over the battery. This is between my driver and passenger seats.

A loose fitting 1mm ally sheet slid under the rubber mat will firm up the foot fall sensation. Better still adding a bespoke cab mat firms up the floor feel, and then slide the metal plate under that.

It seems to be intentional. Doesn’t stop it being a worry for a section of floor that probably gets more action than any other!!

It's just a mat that never usually gets walked on in a normal work van so it's not made very strong, ours is the same

Mine is the same. I have never been concerned in 10 years.

Generally, for the Fiat chassis in it's work version, there would be a bench seat, and a bulkhead, so not a vulnerable floor area. Converters haven't seen it as a problem, for their own reasons of economy.

Same, the mat indicates that there is an inspection panel under it!

I've never investigated as it has Ross, the mechanic's, name on.

Or just eat less doughnuts

There is a steel plate covering ours. Assume fitted by Burstner.
