andyhudson 10 Posted October 21, 2013 i saw a thread on here of a lad who just chopped the bottom out and welded in a piece of 6mm steel and filled it with water to test it and then even put a extra sheet of 4mm steel on as well and that worked fine for him and by the looks of the pictures it took some real abuse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted October 21, 2013 Mine is like that. Got a thick plate welded on. Got some pics somewhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winchbietch 0 Posted October 21, 2013 Cheers guys - I'm using a 4 motion ally baffled sump so ideally still looking at a guard. I may just make one up if time allows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swiftkid 1 Posted October 22, 2013 I've got a sump guard for mine I havn't fitted, my VR tends to run quite warm and I found that when I didn't run my splitter it ran cooler so probably needs good airflow to cool it. Am tempted to draw it up and get some prices to get some made up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stonejag 10 Posted October 25, 2013 Put some longitudinal fins in it for cooling? Would still protect it....hmmm :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
