2 x diff guards will do.

Justin, as discussed previously, I'll definatly grab one. I have destroyed too many steering dampners in my time on offending rocks.

When you have them up and running, will collect and pay.

Hey Justin

I may also, price pending. Do you/anyone have anything to protect the handbrake drum on the ZF with LT230 as it was landing/sliding on the drum which broke my VC housing.

I've never encounterd this issue even with my VC transfer on Aquarangie. You were just unlucky I guess, but nothing is impossible I guess.

The thickness of the handbrake drum it would be bloody hard to break and you know me, I've almost broken everything on a Rangie once

Hey Trav

The handbrake drum is fine - it didn't break, but the cast alloy casing of the vc unit did. The handbreak drum is the lowest point in the middle of the car, just trying to see if there is a slider/plate or something to stop breaking another housing.

Trav,
I had a look at Justin's proto type the other day and defiantly is the goods. Thick steel and protects everything around the front diff centre. Even if you caught the steering arm half a foot away from the diff guard it would only bent may be an inch before the diff guard would restrict it from going any further. Easy to fix an inch bend on the track.
I think you will like the look of them.

OK

Production starts 03/11/06 for the first batch of 20. $165 inc gst will be the price for the guard and all the hardware required.They will be metal sprayed and finished in silver. Units can be supplied raw for $145 if required.

Regards Justin
