The Mk 3, ( ford ) i seem to remember had the roof line lifted, just a bit. and maybe, just maybe had the floor lowered too, but the floor on the ford seems lower than the Beetle variant anyway. |

Looking at the link you sent I think they will do nicely thanks Appologies .. one or Two flanges as required.AND BUT you have longitudinal steel next to inner original dropped seat floor pans, so other alternatives to weld angle brackets to underside then weld one inch square hollow section down and accros to suport fiberglass. that way your dropped side panels are just infills, and made of anything as not load bearing. SEE VERY ROUGH pics
You have not seen my hodge potch meccano style exhaust sytem hangers, and Meccano decribes it best.
For those of you that are unfamiliar with ford models see ---
