While in the middle of some renovations (you know, one thing leading to another), I removed carpeting in the front dinette area to repair a soft spot in the floor only to discover poorly repaired fire damage. There is a hole in the floor with a piece of tin screwed over it.
It looks to me like hot muffler damage. There was even some white powder in evidence, indicating fire extinguisher use. The hole is about four inches in diameter.
The question; any tips about partial  or spot floor board replacement? The damage is old as is the repair. The entire exhaust system has been replaced with headers and dual front mufflers along with three inch pipes.  Aluminum heat shields have been added. An apparent case of closing the barn doors after the horse has escaped.
