V8 transfer box bash plate

[Jon Wildsmith]

I made a transfer case bash plate at the weekend, painted and fitted it just I could have used thinner plate but I just used what I had to hand so I could get on with it I thought it was interesting the plate didn't need a step down like on an 80 series, I assume that's the lack of VC in the rear output housing keeping the casing size down.

There are lots of clever things you could do like make a side to side belly pan like Slee do but I just wanted a plate where it was needed so I can still get at everything.

Nice work Jon san - I like the bolt head recesses

Thought I might as well make the most of having used 10mm thick plate, I think it can stand some counter sinking

Helps lower the COG too
