Freelander 1 Sump guard

Hi!

What do you guys think about this?
He is asking €150 (£125) but I could probably knock him down a bit
Its here in Portugal so good for me
Looks like steel replaces plastic bit - Too heavy? - Rust?
Very difficult to get hold of one down here so I am ninterested
What do the Gentlemen think?

Wow that is a right Frankenstein job, what use will it be because it will not keep any water grime mud etc from getting to the underside of the engine., even be a mud trap to be honest, most people modify the under tray so just the plastic part is removable instead of the whole frame, i bet that is heavy, good for off road but only in a dry climate, even the the dust that will get between those slats would be unreal.

Thanks!
I'll leave that then
Are they different between different engined FL1 pre-face lift?
And are the pre and post face lifts the same?
Everything is so cheap in the UK

That is rather abstract.

Which is a posh word for a right dog's dinner.

I would, if there was one on mine

actually I'm going back to plan A - I know someone with the Ally bits and I will most probly laminate something up or get a bit of plate and make the missing placcy bit

Yep - it’s the ally bits you need really - the ‘frame’.

Years sgo peeps would get 2 sheets of 4mm steel and cover their own guard. 4mm is workable and benderble, ish, at home.

He replied with the weight, it was 18 kg
But if people are using sheets of 4 mm steel, I guess weight isnt an option
Tbh I only thought of the extra stress on the mountings, as its not much compared to the car weight

I'd like to have a go at a GRP version, onto the Ally frame bit (when I get one) got stuff for that at work and its my thing
Easy to mould in corrugations or even 'top hat' stiffeners too so doesnt have to be too thick despite lower stiffness than steel
Kevlar is well overrated and carbon no advantage and way more expensive in this application

If I can mange to borrow one, I could use and original plastic one as a mould
