I do tend to agree though - if you just cut out the rot and cut matching pieces from the replacement pan and they key in and the torsion bar mounts line up - is that "close enough"? I'm not understanding what the repercussions would be if the new pan happens to end up 2MM out of optimal position - would the car be unable to be aligned or something?
I guarantee the reality is most places and people do it as above minus a celette bench and they run a drive just fine. Not the end of the world, it's your car. Potential buyers don't have the car bolted up to a celette as part of a PPI as long as it drives and the loud pedal works well.
