I know there are a few posts about the bash plates but here is an other. Sorry for steeling peoples images by the way.
Basically I want to produce a bash plate like the image below. I want to know if anyone has the dimensions for it? I know I could cut my bumper then make it but I want to make it first, get it painted and so on before destroying my front bumper. :sick: My wife is a little worried about me cutting it down first, she keep reminding me about the time I thought it would be cool to cut holes in my favourite jeans! Bad idea, I looked like ace ventura when he was attached by the shark!! :silly: :silly:
Anyway, I was hoping I could get some dimensions then I could produce a technical drawing to send away to get made plus I could post up the drawing on here so others could use it at different fabricators.
Why do you want a bash plate? If it's just for looks I can understand but if you think you are getting some protection from it I don't think you need it.
The reason I say this is that the steering arms and sump are well above the axle on a Jimny and the axle kind of protects them, unlike a Landrover where the steering arms are made of chocolate and are right in harms way.
Suzuki steering arms are tough as old boots and out of the way.
