Found an original engine splash shield. I don't even remember seeing one on a car back in the day, just that they are mentioned in a couple of my original maintenance manuals. (Just for anyone new, this isn't a sump guard ) I don't need a sump guard for a road / track day car but a splash shield to help keep the engine clean, yes please.
Think the guy getting rid of it didn't realise it had got flattened out and needed re shaping to make it fit, which is done by gently warming it up.

I've made up thin metal plates to reinforce the mounting flange. These will be pop rivetted on. Also got to drill and fit captive nuts in the chassis rails. Pics to follow.

Also been doing more seam sealing on the underside now it's back on the jig.
