IM pan

Does anyone have a drawing or dimentions for a late model pan(85IM)? I have to replace mine as the head is getting ready to fall off. Thanks Gus

Are you looking to replace the entire pan or just make repairs to the frame head where the front beam mounts? Is this due to rust damage or an accident? Assume early IMs were VW pan based? If so precut metal for welding in is available from several sources.

Angus:

I'm going to assume (always a bad thing on this forum) that back in '85 IM was still using the shortened VW pan and hadn't yet gone to their more modern tube frame (I know of a 1984 IM kit that still used the VW pan, so this might be a good assumption).

Anyway, there's a good, dimensioned drawing of a shortened pan here: https://www.speedsterowners.com/files/view.asp?sf=Jogyver&f=vw+pan+dimensions%2Ejpg

If you have trouble getting to it, go to the photo section and look up "Jogyver" (Joe Soltis) and find it there.

Good luck....Gordon

My 84 has a modified VW pan. I thought the 85's were tube fame.

Thanks for the photo Gordon it should help me a lot,I have decided to replace the whole thing,due to rust,and the head is in really bad shape,I have a hole under the pedal assembly,and where the seats mount it's not to sturdy either.I have allready picked up a complete pan which has had new floorboards installed,sandblasted and been primed.So now all I have to do is start.Will keep you posted
