Hi Guys
The rear apron, when you purchase a new one from George, is it just the outer skin, or is it the complete section with the inside panel that holds the engine seal.

Thanks Trev

Thanks Allen

So you just pulled the gaurds, cut the section out and tig in the new bit. Was it straight forward and no hidden surprises.

I found on the apron I got from George that the radius of the folds are a little different to the original, only effects were the top of the apron sits on the body were the seal goes, nothing to drastic but needs a little bit of reforming to make it sit flat on the body.
