Jon,how do. I dont need much,have been toying with the idea of covering/replacing the bash plate,extending it back 6" and bringing the front forward and up a tad,like a silly bugger just been out in the drizzle measuring it,about 3x2 would suffice.Probably hoped I might find an offcut locally but no go.Then I could play around with it a bit,Ta

How much money you got?
B&Q do Alu chequerplate in sheets, but it aint cheap...

[HONEST AL]

is it the really shiny stuff,last time it took the wife ages to get it buffed up nice

I like the idea of this. Wanted to make the plate bigger since I did body lift. Is this chequerplate stuff strong enough tho?

[jotto]

I have a bit here but it's only about 10" wide x 3' long so not a lot of use to you

This is their stuff...

Strong enough to cover, nowhere near strong enough as a bash plate.
I have angle iron underneath my A Bar cross member... the plate is just for show....

So its as thick as a bash plate but doesnt have the inherant strength of a bash plate,is that because its ally

Don't know the thicknesses but yes, aluminium is not as strong/stiff as steel so will bend quite easily.
