Steel or Ally? You pay for the material and supply me with a rough idea of where you want the fixing holes and i'll bend you one ;)

To be honest ali is fine most guards are GRP. Will have to get it on the ramp and sketch something out.

Most people on road rally cars and stage cars just use around 3mm aluminum. Also known road signs to be used by a few people

You dont need to go crazy with a tank guard and make it out of 6mm steel or anything that heavy :wink:

Thinking of just getting some mudflap material plastics and cover it with that.
