Belly pans! Yes or no?
Re: Belly pans! Yes or no?

IIRC there is/ was a m code for belly pans if you specified these. They were fitted for cold climates to give a bit of extra protection from cold and build up of snow ice underneath....
M191 - sub floor - belly pan
Never seen this on anything...
Would expect to see on samba double doors and Golde 11 window sun roof models..
Anyone?

My Devon Caravette has them....
I was unable to read the m codes though because Devon did this...
I recently took the transverse cot rail off to copy the hole positions and I fitted the rail then to Peebles..
But I have not read the m codes yet...LOL

So does mine (dd 11win) but my '60 15 window doesn't & with no evidence of having so (no evidence of any other work either so should be correct to original)
My pans on the double door are all welded in, does anybody know if this is factory correct for the centre pan? My old bay had welded outer pans & the centre one was bolt on.

My 66 RHD Devon Caravette has the M code too.
Funny really as it's a bulkhead tintop so not sure why it would need them, did Devon specify anyway just in case the buyer wanted a poptop?
