Sorry Matt don't know how I missed you post with the amount of time I spend on here. Rang Brown & Davis and there is a dealer in WA when I rang the dealer was quoted the $320 plus freight of $75 & that was pick up in Perth.

I just installed my self-made plate.
It's made of 6mm Aluminium, bended from the local locksmith.
I designed it in a way that it also covers the gap to the front bumper, so that the radiator is also protected.
Two smaller parts are bolted to the sides, this is cheaper and easier to manufacture than making it from on piece of metal.
Holes were cut under the radiator and the oil drain for easy access.
The cost is about half of the commercial ones you can buy here in Germany.
Next to follow is the middle part, extending the skid to the gas tank.

Sump valve after fitting Brown Davis bash plate
Hoping someone can help with this.
Following some prying into you blokes in the know regarding after market bash plate options, I have fitted a Brown Davis plate today.
Have just a query regading how the oil sump valve needs to be treated in view that the Brown Davis plate doesn't have a hold for it?
Does the tube need to be extended so that it can travel down the side of the plate? Or am I going to have to get someone to cut a hole in the thing? Or is this not an issue?
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
thanks
