I'm toying with some ideas on fabbing an AR400 skid plate, similar to that on the Currie 60, for my D44s. I've worked a bit with the AR400/500 steels in the past. The AR400 is slightly formable if you use very large radius bends, and I'm not sure my 20T press has the juice to do it, so I may have to farm that out. In order to not re-invent the wheel, I'm looking for input from current owners of the rear Currie 60 axle:
- How thick is the plate?
- How wide is the plate?
- How has the plate held up, with regards to both abrasion and bending?
