diamond plate bellypan diffuser?

[BamZipPow]

Here's my 4'x8' luan sheet under my T-100 truck...not bad fer a $10 sheet.


It won't compare to Aerohead's T-100 though...

Some diamond plate is like that but some has interlocking ridges. Even if you are depending on the thickness of the sheet between the ridges it would still be more rigid, just like those skid plates with the dimple die holes.

Complete interlock


Even better

Gotcha! A picture ISSSSSSSSSSS worth a thousand words! Both the plating you show WOULD be stiffer from the inter-weaving of the raised portions.
Appreciate the heads up!
