Post by manovlov »

Hy Buddies,

I'm looking for a plan to create a engine skid plate steel. Does someone has already done one ?

IPD makes a skid plate for the P80 platform but I think its aluminum.

The IPD one is aluminum.

I found one under a car in the junkyard a couple weeks ago.

I never find IPD stuff in the junkyard here. I'm always hopeful for some HD rear springs.

I got lucky. I almost didn't look under the car, as it wasn't outfitted with anything special.

It's a bit battered, but will clean up OK. Especially for $10.

Volvo offered a pretty stout one made of steel tubing.

Thanks to all of you. You may have more chances to find one in a junkyard in US than me in France...

I've mounted the sturdy one (last page in the catalog). After losing all motor oil hitting a stone on a gravel road in the middle nowhere 8n Sweden I invested in this and it has saved me at least once from an expensive towing and replacement of the oil pan. These are still in stock. At least in Scandinavia.

Judging by the lack of paint on the
bottoms of the tubes on mine, I’m
thinking that it probably paid for
itself a long time ago! 👍
