The piece I need to Put in is thin enough in width I may cut slots into the plywood where those bolts are. The existing ones are severly corroded but solid. That's why my first thought was to continue the sub floor to the end to add stiffness to the new section. BUT, that changes all the heights. Darned if you do darned if you don't. My hobby is restoration, I've done a '62 Impala and '58 Case front end loader bact to original.
