Will the OE Belly Pan from the Vee fit a Wee?

I asked this question and was told no, however, in my view anything can be made to fit ! :dl_hyperhysteria:

You have to make your own mounting brackets as the Vee ones are not compatible + I trimmed the edges of the pan in a couple of places to get a better fit around the wee engine.
The belly pans cost about thirty five quid from breakers (eBay).
Suzuki really should have fitted it as standard on the Wee.

Oh I wish.
I had known that the Vee one will, with a bit of work, fit the Wee. I would not have paid out for the powerbronze one.
Post a couple of pictures when its on, I may like it more !!!!!

Used the oil sight glass and lower edge of the oil cooler as reference points for position, also added some pieces of aluminium heat shield to cover things up even more.
Had no cooling issues and everything feels stable at speed, bit rough and ready but does the job.

Now waiting :eusa-doh: for tallpaul to improve on my bodge and reach a new level of fit and finish. :grin:

My suggestion to you is to make two of every bracket you make (then send me the spares)  :thumb:
