L400 BASHPLATES

Some very practical BLING for your van

This is a replacement for all the existing (tinfoil) bashplates at the front of your L400 Delica. Protects the delicate bits (like your oil filter) under the front of your van from rocks, sticks etc and will simply bolt on to replace the existing bash plates. This addresses a design flaw by Mitsubishi where they placed a bolt directly under the oil filter making it very vulnerable. Its also widely considered a "Must Have" for anyone taking their Delica offroad.

Steel has advantages over Aluminium in that if it gets bent it can be beaten back to shape without becoming brittle and it is very unlikely to tear, though if it does it can be welded back together simply and without losing strength.

The design puts no pressure on the crossmember under the radiator.

***  AIRFLOW ***
These bashplates offer far more airflow than the original bashplates do.
Tests have been performed with Engine Watchdog’s by Delicaclub members,  show that there is no increase in engine or transmission temperature with these bashplates installed.
No need for extra holes (it was offered to members and rejected as un-necessary and offered additional risk of damage).

(pretty picture - but the back plate should be under the front plate)
