How about using double plates?

One CF and one Aluminum from down under.

Is it possible?

The name is Alawi. You can call me Al.
Nice to meet you!

No...the plate would not be flush with the from skid and would get caught on stuff.

Plus, I dont think it would help much. The lower part was just bent up, the upper part was pushed in (toward the tranny).

If you look in front of where the trans mounts.
It ussually bends right there. I have bent a few. If you bend it a .25mm every crash. How many does it take to bend it a 1/4in.

Peace!

George said he'd replace them! Thats awesome. I knew he'd pull through.

He's also thinking of making even beefier ones too, and he said he could replace mine with those, so I would have to wait. I emailed him back asking him how long the wait was.

No...its not bent like that. Its totally warped...its not something you can bend back.

Plus, now that its bent, its probably weakened anyway.

I think the one thing that is being missed here is HOW they got bent...but you can bend any piece of aluminum, but usually takes a pretty decent spill to bend the x braces IMO....ask Shayne, he knows how many trees I've plowed into, and have yet to bend one.
