Richard,
Is that a green car with a white cage?

6mm aluminum plate with strengthening ribs welded into the bend, on the top
side beside the sump.
I originally thought you were talking about a 1600 but later realized its a
Stanza.
I am currently taking a break from spectating at the "Rally in the Valley"
which is happening all around me today. There are a couple of nice Stanzas
running, so I will peak under later on to see how their guards are fitted.
Chris boland is supporting one so he will know. Its a nice 2.4 ltr L series
with 48mm Webers. Owner is Ben Hayes - anyone know it?

Richard,
What materials do you use?
How do you get the guard to be stiff enough when the supports are so far
apart?
I am thinking of making a light sub-frame that bolts on in the same spot as
the front bumper with a couple of stringers that go back to the chassis
rails, then using some kind of light gauge plate (alloy hopefully) with
folded sides that bolts on to the subframe.

Nick,
Bolt the front of the sump guard through holes drilled into the curved
braces beneath the front mounts of castor arms, and the rear to the gearbox
cross member. Dont bolt to the engine cross member, let it run lower than
that so it has some "give" and doesn't stuff the cross member if it gets hit
hard - which it will. Some people use rubber engine mounts between the
engine cross member and the sump guard. Remember any bolts that sit below
the sump guard under the car will be removed by a rock one day (night?),
unless the guard has a small metal block welded in front of each bolt head.
Use high tensile cap screws, (unbreako bolts) to increase the chances of
being able to remove the sump guard after a rally.

List,
Where are the best places to hang a sump guard off?
I am particularly intersted in what to do around the centre section, near
the engine cross-member.
I will copy the works style Safari spec. Y-shaped guard that has rear
mounts on the chassis rails under the footwells, but the front and middle
mounting has me stumped.
The main things to consider are strength and minimum loss of ground
clearance (the hard bit).
Thanks,
Nick
