Question for Croz.

Post by ShinyDiscoBalls »

I think I saw something a while back where you say you had made up a bash plate to protect the gearbox & transfer case.

Any chance of some pics & mesurements?

Cheers

Ummm, Im at uni... the old computer at home went crap.

Used Mike H's diagrams, downloaded them before he closed the site.

I will bring said plate on sat, and the sheet with dimensions if you like. I bought the sheet at the scrap shop for $7.

havent put it on yet, might do that tonight!

If its an emergency...ie you want it for the weekend call me and i can fax it to you tonight.

Hey FerociousFeroza,

I think this is what you are after -

I made mine from 6mm Aluminium Plate - a good over strength vs weight compromise.
The Crossmembers allready have the welded nuts & holes ready to take bolts - in fact the Japanese Feroza has a Skid Plate installed from the factory !! :bad-words: Talk about cost cutting at its best :finger:
The nuts are standard M8 I think - you'll need about a 30 - 40mm long M8 bolt x 8. The drawing don't have the actually measurements for the location of the bolt holes because it is easier & more accurate to clamp the cut out skid plate in place & then using a metal scriber ( or pen ) mark the location of the holes from above thru the nuts. Also drill the holes larger than normal - ie: 10mm. This allows for slight errors but also if you do ding it a bit the bolts won't bind up & you can still get it on & off.

Good Luck - Mike H.

Also - if you don't want to ( or can't ) make it yourself - I have made several in the past. Just let me know & we can discuss :D

You cant stuff that up. Get the plate made up from the sheet metal place. Jack it into place, mark the holes, drillem, them bolt it up. I had mine made up but didnt install it, so I still have it at home.

Anything can be stuffed up my friend... where there is lack of talent there's a way.

I should be right though. :D :D :D
