I am wanting to attempt to check plate my defender 130 my self but i am
exactly not sure how i sould go about it.

1) Should I being using rivets of skrews to connect the plate
2) Should i use any kind of adesive between the plate and the car.
3) Do i have to seal the places where i have made holes for connecting
the plate.
4) What Kind of check plate should i be using.

any input would be a great help,

Either, I prefer screws but don't use steel.

Nope, no need.

Nope My IIa had plate on for years no issues.

Ally,

You can cut it with a jig saw. If I were you though I'd buy a sheet, it
isn't cheap mind and then mark out cardboard templates and get an engineers
/ fabricator with a plasma cutter to do the necessary.

Simpler option would be to visit ebay. The older I get the more I like the
simple options.

the simple option if you have money is to buy a kit of plates ready-cut;
ISTR such things being advertised.

yer not the only one. BTW, is it a real language? In theory, I shoudl be
able to do that sort of fuvg in ADA, but mercifully I've forgotten it.

When I were in Uni, we got a new DEC ADA to run on the DEC 5830 mainframes
which the computer unit had. (which were a beast of a machine, triple
processors and all sorts, and a deeply flawed port of CBS which snarled them
up all the time).

At which time a friend of mine successfully compiled and ran a "hello world"
in DEC ADA, the resultant executable was 832KB. The same program on the
Suns that the compsci department ran was a mere 400-odd KB.

This produced some sarcastic comment about overheads.

More like static linking!

Blimey I think we're getting a little off-topic here, even for this place..

Makes you realise why the military use ADA :)
(I'm assuming they still do, they did when I was working in the UK
defence industries back in the '80s)

Surely passing parameters to a function using global variables is
frowned upon these days. Shouldn't it be more like :-

$where="In Front of"
CheckPlate($where)

probably - so much of my life appears to be frowned upon by professional
worryers that I can no longer identify any meaningful message amongst the
nonsense.

btw: top posting just isn't the convention used in these parts - some
would probably frown upon that ;)

Bruce, having been thoroughly disgusted at the price of pre-cut kits, and
not too impressed by the price of the sheets, therefore refraining from the
purchase, was very pleased to find that our local scrap yard had a big bin
of it outside the office door and bought two large sheets with slight damage
to a couple of the edges. After a few seconds on the scales he was very
pleased to be told £19. He lined his trailer and made some ramps from one
sheet (makes the loading of motorbike or quad much easier) and is saving the
second sheet for some project he has in mind for the old Discovery.

Hmm, top posting or bottom posting, I've only just discovered the
difference between the two, and am still not sure why it matters so much
to people. I'll stick to the bottom if that's de-rigour.

Bottom posting makes it a lot easier to follow the flow of a thread and
put replies into context.

Not unlike all deciding to drive on the left makes motoring easier. :)

Unless you have a LHD vehicle.

Funnily enough (since we are already waaaaaaay OT), before I moved out
to France, I was all in favour of driving on the left, keeping the
Pound, imperial measures for the road, let's keep Britishness the same
etc. etc. Now I'm here, all that stuff is just, well, inconvenient. I
have to say that it's so much nicer to be able to decide I'm going to
drive down to Spain (or Italy, or across to Germany) without having to
cary my passport, or remember to change cash, or put stickers on the
headlights, or any of that guff.

As long as you remember to drive on the right, all should be fine. :eek:)
