DIY Radius Arm Guards? was created by HiJim
G,day
Just wondering if anyone has made up their own radius arm mounting guards.
I just bought a sheet of 1mm galvanised steel and want to make some up, was hoping someone might have a template or some guidance for me?

cheers in adavnce,
Mark

i think renard38 has made some nice ones up. have a look in his my jimny bit, i would use thicker material maybe 3mm i think he has. :)
i have thought of making some up as they do get some abuse.

yeah i would get some of that but its so expensive,
went down to the local hardware store and 2mm checker plate for 600x600 was $56 australian so about 30 pounds, i couldent beleive it, and i do not have to tools and machines to bend metal that thick so this will be alright as a slider i guess...

hi,
it's a sheet of 4mm and 5 mm. I think 4 mm is enough.
