1 A thin, continuous sheet of aluminum underbelly protection.
2 The steel floor framing (2" x 1" square tubing)
3 A layer of 1 1/2" fiberglass insulation
4 The 5/8" plywood sub floor (laid right over the insulation, it just smashed the insulation over the framing members)
When I put it back together I put the fiberglass back in between the framing members. Under the driver and passenger seats I insulated the floor with Armaflex because I was concerned about tire spray getting the insulation wet.
I considered using foam insulation to achieve a higher 'R' value but, decided against it. As a Carpenter that builds commercial buildings we always have to consider how building materials will perform in the event of a fire. The last thing you want to do is kill someone with the fumes from burning foam insulation.
In this case that someone would likely be me!
