I saw one once, sort of ugly and angular.

When I needed a new pan for the 1988 244 wifemobile. I have had poor luck with finding a pan in a boneyard, so I got one from fpcgroton. It is tougher by far than the original pan. Reinforced around the bolt holes, and seemed like heavier material.

The problem is usually not the pan strength, but the strength of the attachment.
On my older 240s I installed a 1" x 1/8" x 32 " steel flat across the rear of the pan, held on by the three bolts back there. Then big fender washers on all the other bolts.

But - like a determined burglar wanting in, a determined driver will smash it again.

Charge a lot for replacement, she'll wise up and/or you'll be richer.

Good Luck,

Bob
