Title: For Sale: Subaru and Volvo Skid Plates
Post by unggthat on 07/11/6 at 09:42:26

Subaru and Volvo Skid plates

3/16 thick aluminum plate

5052 series aluminum

These are high strength plates, great for rallyX and light stage use. Wonderful protection for the oil pan and other undercarriage parts, with a very high strength-to-weight ratio.

We have plates for both GC and GD model Subarus. Both plates mount using pre-exisiting threaded holes in the frame, except for the rear GC mounting point which requires a small piece of steel and a couple hockey pucks to mount. These are NOT difficult to mount.

Volvo plate is for 240 series. Mounts to rad support, engine crossmember, and rear control arm buckets.

Price is $225. We can arrange for pickup anywhere in the GTA or Kitchener-Waterloo.

We have a limited quantity of metal, so let us know ASAP to secure your plate.

Three MLRC members have these plates on their cars and they reportedly work very well!

Pics available upon request.

Thanks,

Nate Gundy

Nate's plate saved my oil pan at least twice while setting up for the Black Bear Rally. ;D

Hey guys - I have a home-built plate, but I'm curious if this one provides more protection, or is easier to mount. So, pics would be good - preferably on a web somewhere (since I assume everybody would be interested in seeing them), or an email if that works better.

Thanks!

Nikola--it all depends on what your "home built" plate is like! These are pretty heavy-duty, but not an open-class contender type of skidplate. If yours is not a bugeye then they're a bit more work to mount, but still not bad. email me at ngundy at hotmail dot com and I'll mail you some pics back.

thanks for the interest,

Nate
