I think the floor on the H4 is only single skin.
The original Ford fittings were studs welded to the floor with big
pressed steel nuts screwed to them.
The Ford studs had a self tapping thread profile on, not a parallel
metric thread.
The nearest equivalent would be to put self tapping screws through from
inside the car so the thread stick out under the car for fixing the Ford
nuts onto.

My H4 is a little light in the area of heat shielding for the exhaust
and cat (retro-fitted by the previous owner when the 1.6 Zetec engine
was causally nailed in).
I have plenty of material to do the job - my local garage was more
than happy for me to scavenge discarded sections from their junk pile
for nothing. I am wondering what is the best way to attach it to the
underside of the body. My knowledge of the anatomy of the body tub is
a little hazy but I'm guessing there's a void between the upper and
lower body mouldings, so is it feasible to drill a hole from below and
use the kind of plastic cavity anchor fixing one would use on a
studded wall to hold a screw - the kind of fixing that splays out as
the screw is tightened and locks against the inside of the cavity? Or
is it better simply to stick the shielding in place with epoxy resin?
Thanks for any advice.
