Noob question of the day. Are belly pans just to keep oil of the track, or is there any other purpose?

be careful with the ridged mounts. those belly pans crack easy under race conditions. rubber spacers between the mounting brackets and pan work wonders. Just from personal experience.

Bingo rocketsprink! Also watch clearance between tire and pan w/ suspension fully compressed.

I'll probably add some metal grommets or fender washers to the mounting holes. Good tip on the rubber spacers!

I tried metal plates, I glued them on the inside with 3M 460DP epoxy, and put #10 screws & nuts at the corners. I suppose rivets are quicker, but I think the epoxy helps.

This fall In increased the weight of the pan again by adding fiberglass over the plates on the inside, as it was all cracked up again. It's still mostly black on the outside.

As mentioned, need rubber mounts. Even with them, its lifespan is limited. I only tighten the bolts enough to just compress the wellnuts (not much past finger tight) and I safety wire every bolt. I have the whole pan mounted up with 1/4-20 fasteners with hex heads; with wire cutters and a socket in the cordless drill, I can drop the pan in about a minute.

nice job wolf! i tried the rubber mounting rout & it just wore through all the grommets. rigid mounting really worked for me. lasted all season. note: always use steel brackets, not aluminum. had an aluminum bracket last one lap!
