Bash Plates/Sump Guards

[marky]

dropping the diff will need a bit more space though.

Quite true BUT WHY DROP THE DIFF ?

Quite true BUT WHY DROP THE DIFF ?

only a little bit to reduce the angle on the cv joints... they reckon it's good to drop it an inch for a 2 " lift..

big lifts require a slid axle though.

I'm sure I posted these piccies on here before but in the wrong thread so I'll stick em in here and say a big THANKS to Rusty for making it, and horrmygollop for passing it on to me. (the surf postal service works real well)
and the Bash plate fits like a glove.

sumo.

How many did you sell steve ?

5 so far
Pete came around today and brought me the remenants of his bash plate.
The 3rd gen's come in 2 parts - Pete had managed to totally destroy the back piece beyond repair/visible inspection and the inability to gauge/measure the fixing holes - NICE ONE PETER!!!!

My mate (Rob the Engineering Genius) had a look and reckons that he can build a more substantial bash plate that will also protect and prevent the rad. getting covered in mud.

Matt, As for dropping the diff, until we get a good look at the underside (not while it's pi$$ing down with rain!!) I can't say.
If I can recall the diff wouldn't stick down lower than the cross member where the plate bolts onto.
If you get an opportunity to put it up on ramps take some pics and mail them to me please.

Any more requests??

Just fitted my bash plate at the weekend and it fits a treat - sweet as, thanks alot Steve. And thanks also to Linda for taking delivery so I could pick it up local to me and not have to pay anything for postage!

Just gotta go try and bash it off roading now....or should that be try NOT to bash it...

The next batch will be available from this coming weekend

[John Gee]

Having spoken to various Forum members and searched the internet for some comparatives (pricewise) I'm selling these at £40 + p&p (or via the "surf train")

If anybody feels this is an unfair price then please let me know

Are they a straight replacement for the original? I think my 93 2.4 has 4 mounting points.

Rusty,

are you still making / planning to make more bash plates, I feel the need to replace my surf's plastic effort with something a tad more substantial before taking it too far offroad!

cheers,
smeg.

Plastic?

[Smeg]

yup, stop laughing!

nice plastic effort, must be all of 3mm thick too!

I have an '89, so one of the first 2nd gens, they'd obviously not worked out that plastic didn't exactly offer much in the way of protection by then!
