What happens to the jack bracket when flooring laid?

What happens to the jack bracket when the flooring is laid?

Nobody leaves the jack in factory position surely?

I'm currently laying silent coat on interior wheel arches.

Then flooring. No carpet just arch covers but with or without jack bracket?

Cut it off. With angle grinder.

Grind smooth with grinder.

Paint bare metals to rust proof.

Then carpet or what ever.

Keep Jack under seat or else where in van.

Or lose Jack and rely on AA etc to change a wheel.

I have storage for jack.

Is this something that is done by conversion companies?

I have arch covers, and I left the bracket on, as I keep my jack there.

Your jack storage location

 

[Ricardo T]

Could you store the jack in the 'well' of the spare wheel under the van? Appreciate if you got a puncture on the rear in some cases you may need to jack the van up a bit to get the spare out.

Your jack storage location

I have sliding seats. Which incorporates a storage box. It will fit perfect in there. I have just found the best way to remove the bracket.

I want arch covers. Preferably without the cut out for bracket.

 

[Lanky]

I left mine on as it fits neatly with the towbar when that is stowed.
I carpeted the plastic part of the jack and it looks quite neat.

Not a great picture from last summer..

Silent coated the arches and carpet lined but I wanted to keep my jack in place.

Just fitted new wheel arch covers. Did you use existing fixings? I think longer ones are needed. Not sure where to look for them. I'm thinking of having mine painted before the floor is laid. I don't intend on carpeting. I have to look for someone who will paint them.

You don’t need longer fixings

 

[Greybeard]

You need to remove the panels, fit arch covers in place and then I used original fittings, as the arch covers are only about a mm thick and fit under the liner panels.
Excuse pic, but Kombi is in utility mode @ mo!

I have trimmed 1cm off the one to fit under rail.
I am going to enquire about painting them next week. Then get the floor installed.
Yes, I noticed the lip of cover goes under panel
