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.

Sorry for the late reply Kirkynut, I forgot to subscribe to it!

Basically I just want it to make it look more tidy when I cut the bumper down not for stength.
