Re: bash plate
Hi All,
As well as the LED taillights I have also installed the bash plate. This took approximately one hour, which wasn't to bad. It was fairly straight forward, the only issue was that of the 10 bolts supplied only 2 were of the longer size, these I used for the chassis bracket, but when it came to installing the side brackets I couldn't get the bolts to meet the thread so I used a couple of longer bolts that were hanging around in the garage, fitted like a glove. Other than that it was a pretty east job.
Regards
Chris

Re: bash plate
Ouch Leonie! That is certainly far too much for a bash plate, but I guess since it's a custom job, it won't be cheap.
Let us know how you go.

Re: bash plate
Hi T31 xtrailers,
I have some bad news for you 
I have decided to cancell my venture to import the T31 bash plate which I have showed you before for 2 reasons:
* The landed cost of the bash plate was getting a bit ridiculous.
* I simply did not like the fact that this bash plate did not have any provisions for oil change and would have to be removed each time you wanna do an oil change. They should have thought about that a bit better at the design stage.
I am currently chasing another manufacturer which does offer a better design, cheaper and has oil change access.

Re: bash plate
Leonie will be finishing off the installation of the bash plate for the T31 this weekend and will be able to tell us how it looks and we can take it from there.
