West Coast Drive: Bellypan
Hello,

Can the knowledgeable Chief Delphi community shed some light on what should go into the design of the West Coast Drive Belly Pan?

Main points I feel are:
1. What material/ How thin should the material be.
2. What lightening patterns have worked best for your team? How do you achieve this pattern using solidworks? (Would it just be a matter of using the linear pattern?)
3. How do you design the tabs and mounting holes into the bellypan to ensure correct spacing when bolting in the electronics?

Any other points of interest that I have excluded would be great.

Thanks,
Adam Garcia
