Fuel tank guard... work in progress

<< < (3/10) > >>

wizard:
 :shock:

Guardian.:
wiz, i know you havent finished it yet, but are you going to carry them sides all the way to the back?
for just a guard its great, but if you are going to be towing from it, it will need that extra beef in it, that will / could twist if you rely on just 6mm plate with no gussets at all.

wizard:
Hi
Yep i still need to make up a few bits for the sides.
Mrs wizard wanted me to make a cardboard mock up 1st and try it for size, but i couldnt be arsed with that so went straight to the metal version.
Just as a matter of opinion is 6mm a standard thickness for guards.

Regards
wizard

Guardian.:
mine are all 5mm as it saves some weight and is still well over required strength, towing mounts are 10mm so they cannot twist or bend.
ohh the end is nigh.

wizard:
I think that the next one will be 5mm as 6 mm is damn heavy.
I was going to use 10mm for the towing brackets. Hopefully it wont all go pear shaped

wizard :twisted:
