Ok I had another go at my under tray tonight. Not quite finished yet, got to make some pressed covers to go under the wishbone cut outs and cut more holes into the rear outlet panel and a few other tweak's.
I've created a slot at the rear above the strakes to allow some of the air to be released from the rear tub area, I guessed it might help.

I took Phil's advice and was hoping he was going to post his revised drawing (why did his original post disappear) so I took a stab at it on my own.
The angle at the rear is about 12 degrees and the whole assembly is made from 2mm aluminium.












Well that's it for tonight...cya.

Hi David
I took some photos but not sure if they will help. If you want I can take some measurements.
Here's the photos....










Hope that helps if not give me a shout...

Sorry went to edit the post then lost tinternet, joys of living in the sticks. If you fill in the gaps a,b,c,d from the leading edge round the curve and join to the bottom of the rear panel that is how these things are intended to work, well in theory at least.

Hi all,
Well managed to get my rear under floor/diffuser finished. I took notice of what Phil said and with a bit of tinkering I ended up with this. All inlets are now smaller than the outlets.
I've also drilled quite a few 60mm diameter holes to help remove some of the air built up in the rear tub.





As you can see in the next photo some of the air built up in the rear tub can be released above the diffuser in the slot I've created.






I also decided to make angled cover plates for my lower wishbones while I was at it, should now clear on full droop...

Sorry more photos.
I'm now at the stage where I'm now removing stuff to fit parts for good... and boy that's a good feeling...LOL...
I removed my rear tub to tidy my electrics and just finish stuff off.





Now all suspension bolts are in place along with springs on the dampers. Also fitted the diif rubber washer thingy's.

Bye for now....

Hi everybody,
Well judging by my last post I'm classed as "MIB"......(Missing In Build).
Basically work went bonkers and left no time for car. I decided to keep away from forum for a while in case I was tempted to use the little spare time I had working on the car again.
My son had taken up football and daughter shows horse at weekends and missus wanted kitchen renewing so I decided to spend time with the family.
I should have scored enough brownie by now to soon get on with it again.

Hope to speak to you all soon with some photos... fingers doubly crossed..

I'm glad your back, I'd been missing your build porn.
