What would be the best option for a belly pan that is easily removed? I'm always doing something under there, and I know one of the reasons I don't put it back on is that I'm lazy. So what would be a way to rig it so that it could be removed and installed quickly? Studs with wing nuts? Some kind of quick-release latches? (I'm thinking of making a pan out of aluminum sheeting, so I'd be able to rivet/weld something on if need be)

 

my subaru has a plastic belly pan as well. It has two rails with panels in strategic areas with plastic expanding plugs and plastic bolts (coolant drain and oil are accessable from one panel, as well as the filter). You just remove the plastic bolt, then you remove the plug by your finger and slide the panel off. and back on when u are done.

 

Make a new belly pan out of alum and use dzus fasteners! The stock one is a flimsy piece of crap anyway.

 

put studs in there and use wing nuts!

 

1/4 air ratchet and keep the stock bolts

 

velcro! plastic + wheelwells = cool noises!

 

Agreed.

 

hey hey! Someone with a valid idea!



Dzus 1/4 turn locking fasteners... doesn't get much faster than that.
