Title: How heavy is your steering guard
Post by: cardiff_gareth on October 28, 2007, 23:01:15

just picked mine up and OMG how heavy is it  :lol:

The guy said it was 6mm thick but i think by looking at it thats its more like 8mm thick. its galvanised steel with a reinforced strip in it.

I think it weights a couple of stone  :shock:  :shock:

if its galv, the steel plate probably is 6mm as 8mm steel would be stupid, but with galv on that it may well be quite a bit thicker overall.
hopefully you wont bend it then!

Mine is ali so it's not that bad.  Ok so it's bent now but it's there to protect and it does the job fine, even if that means it has to absorb some of the damage.
