Henry Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Not the update I was hoping for but thought I better let people know that the trays will be delayed for a while . I have made the spacers and cups that will be welded in but due to workshop be flat out and key people off on hols its meant that my jobs get put back . I could have got a couple made but it seems a run of 15 may be more appropriate and as such will require more time, which I just cant slip into my brothers work schedule . Will post an update when have some good news . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 All I can say at present is they will happen , My brothers engineering business is flat out at present and struggling to find suitably skilled welders for fine metalwork a real skills shortage in this country for this kind of practical work . The last good guy was from CZEH since his leaving for home three have been and left just not up to the required standards . I am building a restoration workshop extension for him at present so hoping to call in the favour Just sorry its all taken so long will advise when in position to do so .

DavidH Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Just came arcross this photo of Tuthills effort for a undertray but for the engine & gearbox.... never seen any protection at the back end before (although at £650 it's pretty rich...) Increases protection and will stop some crud .... but looks weighty and doubt it helps with the cooling.... Thoughts? http://www.tuthillporsche.com/blog/porsche-911-sump-guard-undertray/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesworth Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Is that just for protection because their cars are rally cars? Personally I don't see the benefit (or point) on a road car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryH Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 My car's pretty low and there are several big scrapes on the underside of the fuel tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidH Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 That's kind of where I ended up... although the write up does say it was for a car used for "road rallying and country lanes" .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Firstly I do apologise for the delay . Its just been a very very busy period for my brothers sheet metal fabriction buisnes but I did speak with my brother yesterday about this , it looks like I can get a batch done sometime in Jan early Feb . I do need one for my own car anyway but will make a number . I apreciate the other thread and if you want to go with that route I completely understand . I will put a pic up of progress hopefully in the next week or two I have already made the recessed fitting holes to be welded in . Sorry guys and hope you all had a good christmas .

Ahhhhh Henry!! 👍😁 Great to hear from you!! If yours are still on the cards I’d still like to get one from you! I couldn’t find your post so did the research on the others. No “deal” has been done and I’m sure the other people (four plus me so far) would be happy to have yours too. Please let us know how it’s progressing👍👍 Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lund Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 sign me up for one as well pls. Chris saw this on pelican a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks really nicely made but it leaves pretty much everything exposed that the German ones covers i.e. the fuel tank and pump! Good for smoothing out the underside though. Lot of love gone into that.
