[al coholic]

So is the back one the sump guard?

Yes.

You need both, dont do it half arsed and only get one

[glxrboy]

Yea i was goin to get both just checking

What do u rate the tjm bash plates?

What do u rate the tjm bash plates?

I have had mine for a while and rate them as good as any. They cop a beating and hold their shape. I reckon mine have paid for them selves 5 times over in saving the sump and actuator.

I agree with Tim, mine have taken a pounding and saved me a heap of cash. Have gone out and crunched into something and instantly thought thats sounds expensive only to drive on with minimal damage to the bashplate. Mine are due for replacement though after a couple of years faithful service. Have busted one mount off the car and the plates are bent enough to make it impossible to use the other mount.

I would not hesitate to buy them again but a member that sponsers the forum offers a nice pair of plates at a reasonable price

What the others have said is spot on.
I don't know why they list them as two different pieces.
I paid that price a few years ago........so it's a reasonable price......it hasn't gone up at all.
I believe the quality is just as good as others on the market too and would buy them again if I had to.


Go hawks!!!!!

[glxrboy]

Just went to tjm's n ordered my bash plates pick them up in 3days cant wait

[glxrboy]

Hey guys when the guys who bought tjm bash plates did yours come with bolts or without?

[c-dale]

No bolts with mine, just used the exiating ones

[glxrboy]

Yea but im missing one of my originals bolts

[glxrboy]

Where can i get a replacment bolt from, because not sure if you have to use a special type of bolt thats why?

[simonb]

I have used Buzzy's design for my plates. I used 3mm stainless steel.
Watercut the plate development with a Mitsubishi emblem and a few vent slots and then pressed to dimensions on drawing. I needed to mod a tiny bit.

Thanks Buzzy for your efforts. Makes my truck look tuff!

I fitted a 1 piece 4mm plate, the plastic at the front you are refering to Duck makes up the space between the old plate and the intercooler so it gets more air flow (apparently),i had to unbolt mine when fitting the new one(no Biggy the gap is a lot less now and it gets plenty of air.
I got mine from a sheet metal shop in Portland and am very happy with it for $250.00 the 4 rear bolts are recessed so no shearing bolt heads,he will also laser cut anything you want into it for a small few

What was the name of the place? 4mm stainless, or mild steel?

[Cowboy Dave]

You can buy the bolts at Bunnings or Repco or Supercheap or whatever. They're a standard size and standard thread. Some have gone with high tensile but there are arguments against that too since the bolts end up stronger than the mounts.

[glxrboy]

How many bolts are you guys using in the front of the bash plate?

[borngeek]

How many bolts are you guys using in the front of the bash plate?

Three at front, two in the middle, two at the back.
Seven in total.

[glxrboy]

I mite be sounding dumb but i just want to make sure the plate wont fall off is two bolts infront enough?

[viking shippy]

Mitz put THREE bolts in the front of the bash plates for a reason....ring Mitsubishi and ask em for the size

[irwazza]

Just put a thick cable tie through it until you can get another bolt

[furious]

my MN only came with 6 bolts to hold he bash plates on, two in front, two in middle, two at rear. and there is no extra captive nuts where a bolt could go.

[irwazza]

Take a photo of the front 2 furious seems weird
