Thumbs down COMPLETE suspension pan

Hey there.

I've been looking for a replacement suspension pan to extend from the front of the trunk area all the way back to the pedal area. Parts Obsolete lists this part as NLA. Various other places offer a partial replacement (Restoration Design, Pelican Parts, Performance Products).
I am waiting for my Stoddard Catalog to come in. Maybe they've got what I'm looking for? Any other leads would be appreciated.

Sorry. I've got a 69 and a 73 (the 73 could do with a partial pan). I think they are the same. If I need to retro-fit one from a later model that might be ok too.

Restoration Design also makes the front pan, and a seperate pedal repair piece. If you havent already talk to Bill at restoration design, he is really helpful, a knowledegable at the 911 tubs and parts that they consist of.

Ive used 95% parts from Restoration Design to do my rustoration, coupled with some things I made myself the tub is almost as good as new.

I'll throw in some good words for the Restoration Design guys...I did a bunch of work on my 911 in '92 and they were just coming on line with some parts. Cool guys. If they have what you need, it's well worth the call.

Restoration Designs is the place you'll want to get your sheetmetal from. If you can wait for a few more weeks Bill says he is finishing up the last touches on the new stamping that will include this entire area (pedal cluster hump forward). It's probably far cheaper and stronger than the original if OE is still available.

FYI I just received my OEM front suspension pan. The picture of the part on the PET (Porsche's electronic parts catalog) shows that the part extends from the front of the trunk area all the way back to the pedal area. It didn't - S#!*. The part I received stopped just at the front mounting bosses for the suspension cross member It looked very similar to the part that Performace Products offers.
I talked to Bill at Restoration Design and he said that the part that they were working on would in fact replace this area, but would only be available in the next two months or so.
