Freelander 1 Alloy sump guard/ undertray

Thanks,
Just yesterday I've actually found a scrappy that just does LR parts near Lisbon here!

They say they have some complete (plastic and metal bits) belly pans for €95 each, that's just 80 of your Earth Pounds!

So, to avoid fannying around I will just get one of them as I would have had to buy the metal frame bits before then some sort of plate anyway as mine has nothing on it.

When thinking about making my own I was thinking about 5 series ally as its far stiffer than 1 series, but also much more expensive
I even thought of laminating up some sort of GRP replacement as well

But buying a scrappy one is much easier

Bugger, it seems that scrappy is actually in Holland with some Portuguese guy here sellng stuff, so the postage is going to be expensive
Bugger again

back to plan A

I am by no means a metal fabricator but by using the frame of the rubbish plastic supplied undertray it wasn’t hard. I used riv bolts and a couple of pieces of angle iron and it works great, just have to undo the bolts to take off the tray leaving the frame in place for oil changes etc.
