My '86 has a pan only under the very front. It covers the bottom of the radiator back to the front part of the oil pan. I've seen the S4 plus cars have a full pan, would it be advisable to upgrade to this later pan? Is it possible without significant fabrication? Besides the obvious protection offered, and presumably better air flow, would this alter running temps? Any other benefits/concerns? Thanks, Brian

You would have to fab up something. The later pans attach themselves at the back of the spoiler and it is smooth all the way back. If you find a way to mount a later pan on the OB's it will hang down and look funky.

Ahhh I see. Thanks! Now I can put that out of my plans.

I have one of the custom adapters for this in stock, brand new never used. Shoot me an email if you are interested.

You will still need one of the S4 belly pans, I highly recommend the aluminum reproduction that Mark at 928 International makes and sells..super strong and durable...and IIRC cheaper than a new stock "plastic" one.

Would that be one of the Devek adapters?

I've been looking for some time for one.

I was thinking the same thing? In the old Devek Catalogs, they sold the adapters for the early models (86.5 and older), but I'd never seen one.

I was going to say "don't give up hope" but then I noticed that this thread is 9 years old. Nevertheless, I have designed a version of the later pan that will fit the early cars and will be including that in my next development thread.

Now I would be curious to see that!!!!!
I'm still lurking ....
