Vitara Bashplate

Post by bugden23 »

hey,

i'm trying to find a bashplate for my suzuki vitara '94 JLX estate. Tried suzisport online but their useless (springwood suzisport is now suzi auto group couse their sick of dealing with them) I ordered one from them 6 months ago and am still waiting only to be told they don't make one for my model.

Is there a group that makes one that will bolt straight on to my 4x4, i also have an ARB bullbar on it too so something that will fit around that too


cheers

If you want to make it yourself, I am going to be uploading a template soon for people to make their own... all you need is a plate and a way to cut it and make 3 bends

It's for the front -> engine crossmember.


For the engine crossmemember --> gearbox crossmember, You just need a flat plate with holes in the right spot, not too had to make yourself.

I haven't done a rear one yet..

It's a steering stabilizer, it attaches to the truss (blue thing) and then to the steering
