What are you building from? A2 it A1? At the risk of sounding ignorant why the trans door? Sounds like the fender bolts were in your old floor that you are re doing? They don't look familiar
Mine is an A1 and it has an automatic transmission. The dip stick door is on the passenger side in front of the seat on the floor. I made the new door 5x5 ish. There are vertical panels at the rear of the inner fenders that bolt to the welded in floor pan bolts pictured.

Gotcha, I have an A2 so different location.

I didn't think I have nearly the floor rot that you have thankfully so not sure I will have to cut out that much.

I finally got the pass floor completed. A week of tough sledding. I’m going to spend all day tomorrow building the last 2 floor panels. The low shifter and air brake levers will be technical but we will get it in. Then we can start to do the fun stuff like the suicide doors.

Wow!! Great work. You will have to cut the door jambs down to almost nothing and make sure that you have the correct floor to rocker heights for them to fit. Check out the pic of the cab corner. There is a 1/2 inch drop from floor to rocker and another drop for the door sill. Technical but straight forward. Reach out if you have ?s or need mor pics.

Helpful for sure! I don't have a donor cab so not sure what I'll have to do as I need to fab up my own door sill. I do have about a 3/4" drop to the rocker.

Got the most technical floor pan placed yesterday. Between the gas pedal, fender bolts, air box bolts , and brake/low gear lever opening. This was a busy layout. I’ll get the last small section under the dimmer and throttle linkage knocked out this morning and that should be the floor done!
