Hows about that for a sump guard, free!!

[compact119]

Very nice, you have mounted it the same as me at the front

[sg_frost]

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

bit of a job to get on and off.

What did it used to be Som

[sg_frost]

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.

I like it The price was right too

i have mounted mine on a hook type hanger at the back to allow it to flex and it mean only 2 bolts and its off, no issues after the its first event

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

I bet it used to be part of one of these:

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.
