Listed as still available at Tomkinson for $200. There was a thread a while back on the best way to water proof them, there was a reason they were left off at the shop back in the day.
OK, tried to fit this but had a hard time determining whether the front edge tucks between the valence and the front end frame, or just sits on top of the valence. Lower edge in photo faces front of car...
Thanks.
If it were made of some type of degradable press-board I could see leaving it off; Lens picture looks like it is some type of plastic, oh well- or are there aftermarket plastic ones available?
The upper end of the part will face the front of the car. The mounting holes go atop the front valance and is fitted with 5 screws through the existing holes in the valance. That should line up just fine. Same thing in the back, right and left side of the engine where it mounts to the front cross momber.
Cheers

Yes, I was the chap who had a batch of these undertrays made last year in fibreglass with stainless-steel brackets. They were made using a NOS unit as a model and the reason I had them made was because I had replaced the original cardboard-type undertray at least 3 times on my car due to oil and water degradation over the last 40 years. I think I still have one undertray left but I could get more made if there is sufficient interest. I was selling them at £150 apiece plus P&P which amounted to approx £12 (UK) to £75 (Aus).
As regards the original query about the method of fixing, the "J"-clips are fitted to the front valence which, if it is standard, is ready-drilled, and then the undertray is fitted from below with s/s self-tappers/ Incidentally, the shorter of the two brackets attached to the undertray shown in the photograph at the start of this thread is wrong- it shoul have two principal fixing locations - just like the longer one.
Please let me know if there is any further interest in further supplies.
