ok so the cutout is for the panhard rod, but that is a left hand drive car it is fitted to,so the cutout will be on the wrong side for a right hand drive car ?

This is mine. I pinched Vlads design and had my own brackets and plate cut and folded by a mate.
£120 sounds reasonable though if you don't have access to any engineering/fabricating facilities

It looks good. Did you used aluminium or steel?

Thanks, used 6mm ali plate and had the brackets made out of 3mm stainless.
Rivnuts used for the fixings.
Was considering countersinking the fixings but having had past experience of trying to get countersunk steel out of ali decided to go with the bolts for ease of removal at oil change time.

Good job.

I used 4mm stainles steel for the brakets and I also applied an aticorosion coating (electroplating) after welding and brushing the brakets.
I also dont think that countersinking the fixings is a good ideea, even my plate is designed to allow the oil change without removal. This holes are also good for watter and mud draining.
