Er not one that big! Was just thinking of buying it pre cut, got some interest in making some D3 skid plates too cos they're darned expensive

Out of curiosity! If a plate was made so that you could find someone to weld it to you're existing alloy frame would that appeal? I've found a little engineering firm that'll tig little jobs like that for beer tokens, there's lots around. Or would you expect a ready to bolt on unit for obviously more money maybe on an exchange basis?

what i was thinking was, that a single sheet would be higher up so giving more ground clearance.
i haven't been under with a tape measure or owt, so don't know if even this would sit higher than the original due to sump etc... clearance issues.

Won't the eggsauce be the lowest point anyway?

No it won't ! There's very little clearance so you're pretty much stuck with the position of the original, that's why you can't risk too much flex!

I suppose it will be, I was thinking more of the leading edge. but I haven't measured it.
Looks like, in that case, it would make more sense to fill the void, where the plastic sits, with more ally. At least that will give peace of mind as when approaching anything rocky I get a bit fluffy

I reckon thats all it would need - the alloy bash plate on the front of the brackets seems pretty beefy to me

I think any benefit would be minimal and make it a lot harder to do! Cheapness equals simplicity!

that's what i thought when i took it off for the first time, but the plastic bit just seemed.........naff tbh.
i'd like a qoute for the plate and tigging when your both ready

That'll be an easy one. I just need to sit down with DD and define the shape, then I can create the CAD data and start getting some quotes on fabbing it.

Yours a van then? Mine is now!
What you talking, simple hoop, diagonal and two stays? Safety devices do a full cage!
