Too true. Here's one from a Fleetline, filled to capacity with all sorts of rubbish from decades of sitting.

I've now had this pan reproduced by hand after failing to find another for my first Fleetline.

By the way, the passenger door handle wasn't put there by me - it had been sitting underneath the bus, in the tray, for AT LEAST twenty years.

I would imagine if you got it from a US supplier it may be a little cheaper...? Since you are in the US.

Yes.

Or if you are in the USA, buy an original out of the classifieds on this site.

Weird. In that link it says 55-67, but it is flat like a barndoor one.

I'm not sure Klassic Fab is making the later pedal pan.

Hi all,

In looking at this excellent thread about the various eras of belly pans, I have a stupid detail question. I'm out of town and can't check under my own Buses. So look on page one, look at the 9th and 10th photo down, the photos are of a LHD belly pan. Look at the smallish rectangular pressing, looks to be about 1/4 inch or so deep on the right hand side of this LHD pan, opposite of the cutout area for the steering box. Okay, why, and when did that impression appear? Out-of-town, anal-retentive minds want to know???

Bill

I don't think that is the reason, because as you can see in this pic:

...the cutout for the '67 DCMC is almost directly behind the steering box cutout. The rectangular pressing is on the other side of the pan. I'm going to guess that it's to give the parking brake more clearance.

Did the parking brake change in 1960? That would make sense, because the MC is right behind the steering box.

A little live action here for the thread. Here's the original pedal pan coming down off the 59 kombi I drove out last Summer. Gotta' love it when the buses come to us more or less complete!

I can't say for sure but in looking at my '61, which has no pedal pan installed, the front heater pipe is there, maybe the heater pipe sits lower up front at some point, maybe when the heater pipe size was increased in mid-1964?

The e-brake parts are above the heater tube on my smaller-tubed '61 so I don't think it's the e-brake.

Yeah, I haven't figured it out yet, but I'm not near any Buses right now to look, and I'd love to know why (and as of when) some Volkswagen engineer ordered that little, shallow rectangular pressing right there. So it lines up with the heater tube, huh? I'm surprized that Clara, Greg or Lind hasn't popped on here and cleared this up yet! Ahhh! the little mysteries! Thanks Everrett and all for the replies/theories so far!

Holy Crap! Thats a lot of rat nest material in that pan Kombinista! I about died laughing when we dropped the belly pan on the "Flood Bus" (completely underwater in the 1995 Mississippi River flood for two weeks) and found a 16" catfish skeleton laying there!

I retract this. I found a pedal pan with the impression and laid it up against my '61 Double Cab and the impression is to the right of the heater tube.

I found this photo of my old '66 and the heater tube doesn't look like it would line up either

On my '61 the impression is about where the front to rear floor rib is located, to the right side of the heater tube (to the left in the photo).

Looking back at the pics in this thread, the picture of the original 62 pedal pan does not show the rectangular depression so, apparently, it appeared sometime after that.

It's function remains a mystery to me. Looking at it's location, relative to the edge where the pan screws to the chassis rib, seems to place it in "no-man's land" in Everett's picture--somewhere between the rib and the heater tube--where nothing appears to exist that would warrant a change in the sheet metal. Anyone have some good suggestions?

I have a nearly perfect pan where the round tab is not a welded on piece like in the pic below, but instead is a contiguous part of the pan and just bent up to the 90 degree position.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


Based on the shape of the cut-out for the steering, and the bumps for the front mounting bolts, I think it is a 61-66 pan maybe?

I have a Feb 57 bus so I need to find the correct pan. Besides the different cutout shape, should I be looking for the welded on tab, contiguous tab or no tab at all? I think the welded on version, but can someone confirm?

FWIW here's a couple pics of the pedal pan off of my '65. I assume it's in original paint, and original to the bus, but who knows.

Has the possibility of a RHD modification been mentioned? Does a RHD bus have something in that area that needs a little clearance? It would make sense that VW would have produced one pan for either type, and removed or left material depending on the end use.
