Supply, cut, bend and rivit the thing together they are from what I can gather a sheet metal fabrication shop so should be able to do anything. My old man deals with them on my behalf as he works next door.

The splitter is made of ply but pretty sure the under tray is still aluminium.

AHA. I was just thinking of a fresh bit of Alu under there, actually, as mine was already getting tired before Robin had to tin-snip it to make the new S2 zorst system upgrade thingummy fit correctly :-)

What ££ would you / mate want for a full rear undertray from sheer panel back, totally standard apart from slightly wider aperture for the flexi joint (wot got tin-snipped) ?

PM me if easier / less embarrassing ;-)

I registered on the site and received a discount straight away. I did not check for S_E as LOT and SELOC came up, so just had to put my nickname in.

On the g'box oil front, UJI's has never been changed, don't think it's a service item, but my 'box is getting a little whiny (fnarr) and I have certainly heard tell that fresh oil can help.

Thoughts anyone?

Wasn't sure if that only applied to the Yota boxes? I am getting a bit tired right enough...!

Honestly I have no idea my extended 4 fin diffuser cost me £50 fully built. If I can get detailed drawings (DXF/DWG) I can pass them on and get a price.
