    Thanks Griff - but this is what I want to aim for for somehow. I think that it really does make a lot of difference

    Does the tub have steel bodywork, or is it fiberglass? I'm not familiar with hawk cars... cool project btw!

    All Stratos (kit) replicas have fibreglass* centre tubs and steel spaceframe chassis.

    *There's an odd one or two made from other composites, but no steel.

    Matt, give Marfab Welding a call 07903 460691, bloke is called Mark Milne, big Lancia fan, belongs to the Lancia owners club, and has done quite a bit of alloy fabrication on both mine and Rene's Hawks, including the under tray pictured, hope this helps Griff
    Thanks Griff for putting me in touch with Mark - obviously a highly skilled guy. He said the solution would be to get a new tool made up to cut and fold the correct louver dimensions and then start again with fresh sheet aluminium. Whilst that will be a fairly expensive solution to make one set (anyone else interested in some?) it's likely to be my only option as I gather that the 'off the shelf' louver cutters currently available will not cut a slot wide enough - or with the original tapered profile. I s'pose doing that will mean that the panels end up less rigid (lots of original cars seem to have slightly 'wavy' front panels) but presumably wider gaps would aid cooling - which wouldn't be a bad thing.
