NOOO, big differences!! VB sells more of a patch panel for the floorboards,
its close, but not close enough. the edges, and contours are wrong, its not
deep enough, the holes and capture nuts are all missing. For the same price
Spitbits has the correct, as original type floorboards. I don't know what
TRF sells, but ask if it has the holes and capture nuts there, if not go
elsewhere - you don't want to mess with the wrong ones.

I think you'll find VB and TRF (possibly Spitbits as well) sell pretty much
the exact same British Heritage part (please correct me if I'm wrong), which
is supposedly made from the oem stamping. I plan on buying mine from TRF
while the sale is on. I think they're $110 per side.
