Plastic Under Tray for a T2

[Dorothy70]

With the underbelly of a T2 being so vulnerable to rust and the elements, does anyone know of a manufacturer or constructed (yourself) a plastic under tray for the front end?

These guys do, though late bay only so would need modifying at the front to fit.

Thats a normal pedal tray, should be standard on your bus anyway? Do you mean a full length panel or center belly pan. Nothing a large sheet of plastic wouldn't fix - or a road sign..... :msn4:

Hi Alistair, no more rusty bits pan is for a late bay as it is straight across the front edge to suit the join with the inner valance. 70, 71 and 72MY's have a step at the front to match the earlier inner valance and they also have "tabs" in the front corners to bolt to the chassis rails.
68 and 69 MY's had the longer type pans.

Pic below shows the step difference between 70/71/72 pans (the 2 nearest the camera) and late bay pans (the one at the back).



Didn't want Dorothy70 to buy one that didn't fit!

This site is great, thank you! I like the fact that they use no rust materials. I noticed they customise, wonder if they would do a modified one for a 70 since they only have 72 and up? Will give them a shout..

If its standard on my bus, it's long since disappeared! I was thinking of taking a plastic under tray from a Passat/ Audi and modifying it. I'm mainly concerned about the front end.

Yes they are standard on all t2s

Like with most old vehicles, at some point a previous owner will have removed or lost stuff at a time when they were just old bangers that nobody was too fussed about.

Fair comment, i guess you need something, a larger undertray off a modern car is a good idea.
