But this isn't about which is the best bash plate, it's about enjoying a laugh at Fridgies repair bills

Clarification:
Yes Al and I both have "Buzzy design plates" which Al arranged to be built in Sydney by a 3rd party in the earlier days to his specification and material choice from Buzzy's CAD drawing which is available to anyone to access and use with there own 3rd party manufacturer. But that is all I will add to this discussion.

Yes and they are made out of the same material 316SS 3mm. The point I am trying to make is the design is sound...

The reason I ask is one of strength with 316ss having a yield strength of 205MPa whereas 250 grade 'mild' steel has, as the name suggests, 250MPa... Although the 250 grade would require touch ups to keep it looking good, it would also be cheaper to produce...

The latest plates I have been supplying are 304SS. 316SS is a marine grade material obviously has better rust resistance. The 304SS has a slightly higher mild steel content looking at the colour but they will still be very long lasting and slightly stronger I think and from the data i have read. 316SS is more expensive and in my mind not required...the rest of the car would be dead before hte plates rusted away!

Might pay to go easier from now on and not get so into the hype of 'i just did a patrol/cruiser track", and then list 6 things that broke on the triton.....
cya at lcmp where you can relearn some stuff
