What Lies Beneath (the rib deck)

Hi I'm just about to start putting my two new jockey seats in my Rib and wondered what is just below the deck? I've read https://www.rib.net/forum/f64/fixing...ats-79226.html but looking for some advice on where to and where not to screw

Thanks, Tom

Are you upgrading the jockey seats or are you fitting new ones in a space where there was nothing before? The Sika 292i and self tappers approach might work. Is the fuel tank built in? Does any wiring or control cables disappear under the deck from the console?

What I'm trying to understand I suppose is what the deck is made from and how thick it might be before I reach the wiring and cables being fed through the pipe to the console.
