After reading the post from member thswyup about when he broke his Actuator (http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...059-Busted-150) we had a look under our own vehicle's to have a identify the vulnerable Actuator Assembly. After seeing its location and position we decided to get a guard fabricated for this area as there were no known available guards. At this stage we have designed the guard, fabricated a prototype, tested the prototype making a few design enhancements. We are going into production next week (19/03/2012) as I already have 6 vehicle requesting the guards.
NOTE: We are not a Business just two members on the site that went about trying to make a functional Actuator Guard.
If you are interested please send me a PM with your request.
