Mounted to a brace on the front, to the cross member and also down both chassis legs. Works a treat, no need to slow down for anything, 2 reasons.
1. will absorb anything it hits
2. So heavy car does not go fast enough to get damaged :lol:

bit of a job to get on and off.

used to be flat with holes down 1 side, who knows what else it was.
Sent some feelers out with people I know to find "a bit of ally that'll do for a sump guard", ended up with a sledge that we bent using a big hydraulic press.

Mine has 12 counter sunk 5mm allen key bolts, each one guaranteed to round off as you try to undo them. Wallop a torq bit in and replace with new.
The only thing quick release in this car is the navigators stomach :cry:

That's a good idea for a full floor cover, would do the exhaust, tank and diff altogether. Could even fabricate a diffuser out of it. Where is that exactly?

I'm guessing, but reckon if you leave Potton on the B1042 and head for Bedford, you'll find it on the right when you get to the A1.
