Bash Plates

Post by **Kieries** » 07 Dec 2012 16:08

Hi Peter
Are these bash plates still being made and what are the lastest price. I have a late 2004 4.8 GRX.
Thanks
Kieries

Eugene, I make to order. I usually make a couple axtra, but unfortunately I do not have any left for the 4.8, however I do have diff guards and transfer-case skidplates available at the moment.

Peter, I've got both plates fitted

, Errr just how do I connect the front section to the ARB bumper?

there is a small gap - no problem to pull the plate upward a tad,

but there is a difference in the angles of about 30 degs between the plate and bumper.... do I make up angled spacer washers?

Thanks
Ernie

Enrie, please send me a close-up picture, but my initial reaction would be to use countersink screws.

Your idea will also work, but will leave a longer section of bolt and these could thus bend more easily, and also will be more exposed.

At sea till after new year but will do then, it's about a 10mm gap, evidently the plate angles upwards but the bottom of the ARB bumper is parrallel to the ground - not a train smash just want to give it a bit more strength with the extra bolts.

Drilled two extra holes in the chassis and mounted with 4 x 6mm and 4 x 12mm HT bolts using a flat plate drilled & tapped as a nut dropped inside the chassis.

Hi Peter

Do you have one to fit a 2001 4.5 GRX with an ONCA bullbar?

Mark, does this mean you have bought a car?

I reckon I can help...

Not yet Peter! Holding thumbs that it will still be available when I get back to South Africa.
Just enquiring what my options are! - guess I am getting excited and a little ahead of myself - LOL

Have contacted the bank for finance already.

Hi Jorrie, been searching for a year! Getting anxious and tired of not been able to do the obstacles like Tinus and the guys in the patrols - LOL
