Honeycomb Floors
Description
NOTE: What is known as "honeycomb" construction is employed for the front floor. Properly designed and applied, it plays an
important role in maintaining the structural rigidity of that section of the car's floor. The honeycomb floor is installed with an epoxy
resin adhesive. Care must be exercised when installing a new honeycomb floor as seepage of water into the honeycomb
construction will adversely affect its performance.
