That's fantastic news! please let us all know how things are going, and what you've managed to price them at. To be quite honest though, I think I'd rather buy one from you that get a crappy original part at the main stealers price. It's got to be a higher spec if you make it cos landrover have used the metal that fiat left over in 1970. Well done mate.
Picking the guard up tomorrow, but we've been doing some research and pre-planning today.
Looking at a similar tubular frame, but with plates approx 3mm thick, not swaged, but similar overall shape and design. Along with better sections between the 2 plates, but i'll work that out when I get the guard tomorrow.
Also looking at a separate bolt on aluminium guard which can be bought and fitted separately to the cradle, which will offer the cradle protection from the elements, and the rest of the underneath a bit of protection too. Had thought about making the cradle out of aluminium, but it might get too expensive.
For the cradle, the price will be less than LR, but by how much I can't say until I look into it further. I'll try to keep the price as low as possible, but not to skimp on quality.
Because of the costs involved i'll need paid orders up front before I do anything in terms of production, but quite a few on here and other forums know me and have had other things off me, and they know my quality
