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

[davidfkon]

the paddles have a history of bending?
I don't know . . . just doesn't look as polished . . . if you know what I mean . . .

David,

We've not been told of any bending but it will make the plate look more professional and OEM and simular to the new D4 design...

 

[davidfkon]

for what it's worth I like the Mantec-style look (unless there is a copyright issue?)

What about the others interested in the group buy?

Mantec?

FYI i might be interested in selling my mantec if anyone wants to make an offer... got it in the fall, in same shape as when i bought it....

Allodial

I would be interested ...How much do need for it and how soon would you be deciding to let go? Do you think I can install it over my existing LR Nudge Bar?

ABSOLUTELY!! The Mantec is definitely a LOOKer but is there a copy right patent or something like that? Has anyone out there in LRW ever Fabricated it out of steel plate maybe and if NOT then WHY?

Neil???

 

[Neild]

Yes, there are some small issues with the look of the front end. we can get round this though

Steel is NOT an option due to rust - even when powder coated they scrape but Alli will never rust

So it either something along these lines or a Mantec one costing double for you guys......pays ya money and takes ya choice.

The feedback is that we prefer the previous plate from GN over the new prototype.

However, the adjustments you photochopped look promising and I will stay on board with the group buy as you work out the design.

I definitely appreciate what Neil is doing for the LR community and have no problem with waiting a bit for the process to move forward.
