[QUOTE=M. Murphy;8713069]The term I was looking for is Protective Plate. Looks like it's made from sheet stainless, held in place with seven bolts perhaps M8. FYI there is a service mod on that thing that reverses the front louvre on the passenger side to form a scoop that directs cooling air to the right motor mount.
Murphy; the Protective Plate aka Belly pan on the 83 is made of aluminum,just saying
