Fiberglas Rear Skid Plate

[VX KAT]

Here's a thread I did on fitting mine:
http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...kid+plate+50mm

Had to use a C-clamp vice grips to pull the plate into alignment with the cladding holes. I used 45mm and 50mm bolts, but it turned out I could have gone with shorter ones after the vice grips pulled it into closer alignment.
I used neoprene washers as protector between metal washer and painted plate. (See last pic)


The links in that thread are dead, so here's the pics.

First pic is to show the detail on the fake studs.

Thanks for all of the help...

Sue, are the top fasteners just for looks or did you put holes in the cladding?

I looked at the photos of you handing off your VX to the new owner and it did not appear that there were any holes in the cladding where the top fasteners would be.

Thanks again.

Yeah, I said in post above the entire top row of studs are fakes. In last photo, (of the back of the rear skid), you can see the fake studs. No holes in cladding were made at all. And when I installed the plates, I used 1/2 neoprene washers glued on to cover the cut off end of fake screws so they couldn't scratch the cladding.


Also, I don't know why there were 4 holes drilled in the front plate where the license plate delete installs, I only used 2 of those 4, and bought a a bolt witha washer neck and glued it in just to cover the hole.
Can kind of see it in these pics:
