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

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?

a good price and a good investment,

and that works well.
good luck with the sales.
