Okay, I've got the front and rear floor mat set from SFR, and I love it to death, but it's got a unique diamond plate pattern on it.
http://www.accuratealloys.com/images/diamond-03.jpg My rear plate under the hatch is the standard diamond plate you see everywhere. http://www.accuratealloys.com/images/diamond-01.jpg I want to find a place where I can buy a sheet of the stuff from the first picture, to make it all look the same. Any help? It's called Diamond Plate of course, but some folks refer to it as Tread Plate, but I haven't found a name for this particular pattern or any place to buy it online. |
good luck, been looking like hell for it also. thinking its asian only.
|
maybe this will help some

I found a site with it in pictures, but no ordering information (hence the image at the top).

search yahoo with "5 bar tread plate" and you will get a lot of places to buy this from |
Awesome, I just saw that myself. I'm going looking.
Haven't found a place I can just buy it from yet. All of them that actually sell it so far are just "click here for a quote". I don't want to go through 800 quotes. |
I hate that. Just call the company. Chip manufacturers do the same thing. They all like to sell in bulk before they fire up the machines to print some mats. Ask them for a local distributor and you should be able to find some in NM.

Well, no one here that I can find has any idea of what I'm even talking about.
I have progressed a bit though. On some sites, it's referred to as... QUINTET And instead of Diamond Plate, many refer to it as "treadplate" or "treadfloor". I'm emailing a few companies now about it. Anyone have some luck? |
What's your plan for cutting it? There might be a shop in your area that specializes in sheet metal fab, who would have good (possibly local) contacts for getting the material. It might be tough to find it in a sheet size that isn't way too big, which would drive up shipping costs pretty quick.
If I needed to make a hatch plate in my area, we have a shop that does laser cutting. I'd go talk to them about getting maching material and have them cut it out too... You might be able to find a similar route there in NM. |
I'd cut it with my jigsaw just like the current plate that's back there.
Like a hot knife through butter with a good blade. I've been calling local places, but they just don't understand that there are different patterns of this stuff. |
