Mine is just made of the toughest expanded metal mesh I could fine locally and attached with the existing bolts using big washer to hold on.

The stream crossing that I was present at was on the reconnaissance mission for the Harrison West FSR Deux run. On the actual weekend camp out creek crossing I had broken off from the main group to follow Frisch (I think it was the smell of a BBQ that attracted me) and later the main group had caught up with us. Soon after this point Adam & Patty were under Patty's machine removing a cover plate that I think covered the steering unit ~ it was pretty bent up. How it got that way I know not. Later Patty was trying some daring manoeuvres ~ so it wouldn't surprise me if he tried the stream.

I was thinking of getting something like what you have for the rad/fan to catch that bizarre errant rock or marmot from getting into the fan. There is a guy I know who does some of my work and has a plasma cutter down on East First Street in North Van. I was thinking of the one inch expanded metal with a nice powder coating for aesthetics (I am in for the vanity aspect, too, JRman). If you are going to be at the Show & Tell tomorrow at the McDonald's at Boundary & Lougheed (10:00 am, Saturday, 5 April,08) I can tell you more about it and you can show me yours....

Regarding the windfall across the roads.... I have tools for the smaller stuff. Maybe I should invest in a chainsaw?

Falco.

During the meet the too youngest gents would be; Adrock and Patty?

When can everybody make it up to Powell River (two ferries and 5 hours) for a Delica meet?

Cmon, all the reason not to have a skid plate! Snuggled up to a hot radiator, by the time you get to camp, dinner 'l be done!

Kevin,

Are you trying to hijack this tread?
Powell River, never been but would love to. When is the best time and no, I really don't miss mosquitos! (so let's keep that in the equation!). Kidding! Grew up north in Quebec and they don't really like my blood type?!? I think a long weekend would be best time... But if you're serious about it, start a new post maybe...
