if you can produce sump gaurds in steel fold them and cut them yourself give it a go mate have a look on the demon tweeks website at the prices ranging from £150-365 for their sump gaurds then comment

This is what happens when a thin sheet metal sump gaurd is made it crumples causing the kind of damage in the photo's.
The first photo has the pas rack sitting on the thin sump gaurd

How much it would cost to copy someone else's work.
I'm intrested in buying one but would like to see a picture of one fitted on a car to see if one would fit with my conversion.thanks

Could be interested in one of these in the future, very useful for piece of mind when bombing down unsurfaced roads, how much abuse would one of these take, 60mph onto a tree root is quite a impact.
Any plans for tank guards too?
