I have already read the tread on teak and holly floor replacement… A few simple questions that have not been answered,
On the E 38-200 it appears that the plywood goes under the aft door way trim. If that is the case is it possible to redo the floor without removing the doors/trim? It looks like a bear to get the trim fitted back into the vinyl head liner once it is removed.
The other tread stated: “ used #6 square drive bronze screws which tarnish and tend to blend in” it does not mention anything about attaching the trim that goes around the perimeter. The trim has teak plugs, and when reusing the trim it is not possible to use surface mounted screws. Two questions related to this: Any advice on the easiest way to install the new plugs i.e. sanding down to fit. Were the trim pieces originally varnished to match the floor? I would like to prefinish everything prior to installation; hence, how to install plugs not to damage the prefinished work.
I’m open to any other tips on the 38-200 floor replacement that may be different from the other tread.
Thanks…
