I do not recall collecting the apron but if its gone, its gone...luckily I can find another one over here without too much of a hassle. I love the freedom of finding parts over here. When i was faced with the faulty tranny mount cradle I looked up on the net and found one in California. In four days (due to the weekend in between) i had the part delivered! Sure there is a price and quite often shipping is more than the price of the part itself but its good to have a choice.
