Re: bash plate
Just kidding Rich Sure I did and I think it maybe easier if you actually bring a cardboard with you one day and make a template of my bash plate without taking it of.

Re: bash plate
Hey Rich,
I took my bashplate off last weekend (in preparation for my visit to the dealer earlier this week)
So it's in the garage now and I'll soon be putting it back.
It is the perfect time for you to come around and draw-up a template from it if you like. Just give me a buzz.

What's the chances of getting ahold of that template? I would be happy to draw up a diagram, if someone can get me the dimensions, and post it here.
I'll do the measuring this weekend from my bashplate and post it here for you along with a diagram.

I think aluminium would be better if it can be made lighter than the steel plate I have now.

Jalal, did you have to drill any extra holes and use extra nuts and bolts at the back of it to mount it?
I notice there are little brackets on the front. That's a good idea to avoid making the bend along the bottom at the front, nearest to the driver's wheel.
Yes Rich, one was needed to be drilled to hold the middle bolt with the brakcet. The other 3 bolts fit in the holes that are already there, but Shane's mate made some sort of a long brakcet with a washer at the end which can be slotted and held while I tighten the bolt on the plate itself.
ARB might make them in the future, but I still think that if we get it manufactured through friends it'll cost much less.
Here are some photos of mine after painted and fitted.
Because Shane's exy was manual, this bash plate does not cover my auto transmission sump, so we gonna need to work on 2 templates (manual and auto)
