Anyone Interested In Group Buy: Sump Guard For the Discovery 3

[davidfkon]

I tend to agree . . . seems the mantec is sturdy and well liked . . . as to adding some to cover the transmission plate . . . sounds good but wouldn't that interfere with a COMPLETE t-case cover?

what is used for underside protection here???

Ok,

Your views please.....

Couple of idea’s after a few sketches:-

Bringing the sump guard further back to cover the transmission plate (about 30mm past where the normal sump guard goes) Not sure why, you have the under engine plate just further back of the sump guard. Is that what you are talking about?

Loosing the paddles either side of the intercooler ala Rasta. No, I like the paddles, they have protected my bumper.

Reducing the paddle height. I think they are fine.

Loosing the 90 angles for the flat part of the underside (these do keep crap trapped around the plate). I like the protection for the frame.
