Under tray /belly pan- Anyone use one?

#1 Post by tony g »

With my front end rebuild nearly done with painted engine bay etc, I was wondering if there was any worth in fitting an undertray like modern cars have. Mainly for keeping things clean as poss but also there maybe some aero benefits too.
Has anyone taken one from a modern and adapted? Thinking plastic here not an ali sheet.

Cheers

I made one in fibreglass and fitted it to my track prepped sprint. I did it to aid cooling and smooth out airflow beneath the car.
It now sits in my garage up against the wall.
track action maniac.
