that skid plate looks awesome! That rear engine mini takes the cake though... One shouldn’t tease without offering more info!
haha Thanks! The mini is a prototype for a production run of Singer style mid-engined mini, I'm sure you'll hear more about it come Spring when it is launched. Was originally going to launch at the Quail at Monterey but... covid.... was actually helpful since we would not have made the August deadline.
If you do any dirt work, you might want to look into these (google skid plate bolt head protector for others) to protect the bold heads. I used them on my Jeep and work like a champ.

Thanks for the link, we were actually researching into those. We are also considering countersinking, but these washers are very nice indeed. We will have to see if buying or turning some on our machine is more cost effective.
Nice job. I'm sure you've got a lot of others bouncing some ideas around with it.
I certainly would be interested. Little adjustments such as "bolt protectors" seem to make it better as well.
Will do probably another version as it needs some minor tweaking, bolt protectors are definitely a must.
Actually, this came out of not being able to find anything that would've protected the steering rack assembly, as most goes forward toward the bumper instead of back behind the control arms. Also this only weights 23lbs!
