Re: Harmonic Tensioner Pulley BROKE OFF!
That's just flat plastic from the looks of it. Why not buy a sheet and make your own? I am sure Grainger has it.

The only bad thing about parts like this is they are not legal for those of us who compete in forms of motorsports that have classes governed by closely watched rules. Could I get by with this one or not one at all locally? Probably, but all it takes is one person to whine and I would be thrown out, and given how competitive the classes are it just isn't worth the risk.

Re: Harmonic Tensioner Pulley BROKE OFF!
I don't think that is metal, look at the zipties holding it on by the pass side wheel. It just looks to be thick plastic.

Got my results back from blackstone labs. Everything looks dandy, and I have to say that the service from them was awesome!

Re: Harmonic Tensioner Pulley BROKE OFF!
Any idea what we could use for an undertray? Know anywhere we could get the stuff locally do make one?

Re: Harmonic Tensioner Pulley BROKE OFF!
Maybe some 1/8" or 3/16" thick aluminum sheet from Discount Steel next to Elite?

Re: Harmonic Tensioner Pulley BROKE OFF!
How thin could it be so that it would be light enough, but still thick enough to protect everything. Furthermore, how do you cut the stuff so it looks decent? This sounds like a fun project.

Re: Harmonic Tensioner Pulley BROKE OFF!
I'd say you'd be best to go with 16 or 18 gauge alumnium. I think 1/8th inch would be a little overkill and add un-necessary weight. Sheet metal would just suck considering it would rust.

Re: Harmonic Tensioner Pulley BROKE OFF!
Yea, I'm looking around and seeing a lot of 'almost 1/4 inch' aluminum undertrays out there, so I think shooting for about 3/16" will be the way to go. Nice and thick so it can take a beating, but not too thick it's too heavy...I'll start a project thread as I get rolling with this.

Re: Harmonic Tensioner Pulley BROKE OFF!
Do you just feel plastic would not be strong enough? I'd get annoyed by the noise of rocks hitting the metal undertray. Look at all the OEM cars with plastic undertrays. They seem to last. A plastic undertray would be a lot easier to make and lighter, plus not noise from debris!
