Vinyl flooring woes (1 Viewer)

[BJ40ER]

I am redoing in the interior of my 78 BJ40 with an aqualu aluminum tub. I've been looking for a good way to form a vinyl floor to it as it's not the same as a factory tub. (so I can't just order a flooring kit as it wouldn't fit properly.) I was thinking about ordering sheet vinyl and moulding it with a heat gun, however I can't find where anyone has done that before. Will it work? Thoughts? Suggestions?

Is it possible to replace the center hump of the Aqualu tub with either an used OEM piece or a reproduction?

Yeah I'm sure I could I just wanted to test other options first, but it may come to that.

You cannot take a heat gun to mould sheet vinyl. There is a reason it is so difficult to make a moulded floor mat.

That's what I'm afraidof, however I'm just hoping for any vinyl work suggestions really.

@Racer65, I heard someone was making a repro floor mat. You know anything about that?

How many gallons of Flex Seal to pour in the bottom and make your own.

I like the idea! I've got 76 fj40 that flex seal might help me hold together for a couple more years! Haha

Why not use a bed liner product? If you don't want the rough texture they can make it smooth.

For the bj40 I've been restoring I'd just prefer to have something removable, just me being picky on that
