Are you talking about the flooring in the baggage compartment area
just forward of the battery box?

No, from the firewall, aft to the front of the gear box.

After studying it a while I thought it might be the location. My gosh yes this
is a horrible place to access. My 140 has openings in the front of the floor
panels. However cleaning out under them would be a nightmare. I put my
bore scope probe under the panel and it is full of everything but money. I have
contemplated installing access panels as suggested in the thread. I cleaned
out the belly of my 46 this spring from the gear box back to the battery
box. It took a lot of work but was able to access everything. The areas
sited in the thread are a different matter altogether. I plan to attack that
space next spring. Thanks
