Dave Wellings - The Wolf Performance/BHM skid plate

I purchased one at Blenheim from BHM. Excellent quality as you would expect from Cain!

It should have been a half hour job, but you know how these things pan out........................…

Nice etched logo which I have fitted facing forward, and it comes with two allen headed countersunk machine screws and a drill bit........

What could possibly go wrong.

I don't have a G clamp small enough to hold the piece, but cable ties are good enough!

Get it level!!

Obviously the Morgan needs lifting quite a way. Even so I had to take some covers off the pit to get the drill in position.

The cross-member is thick and so takes time to drill through. If you wish to protect the gearbox casing, insert either a piece of wood, or metal above the cross-member to take the force out of the drill as it comes through.

On the second hole, just at the point of penetration, the bit stuck, and the end broke off...... Not a disaster as I have other drills, but access was tight, and my affliction of positional vertigo makes it quite hard to move about under the Morgan without the world spinning.................

Then more trouble loomed. I dropped one of the machine screws into the pit, and it did one of those trans-dimensional shifts. It vanished......... Half an hour later and losing patience I had to give up. It had gone................

A quick message to the Cain-meister, and a replacement was in the post.........   

So today I finished the half hour job........

The quality is superb. Yes I could have made one, but it wouldn't have been as good as this.

I probably won't fit one to my Roadster because the sump is much lower than this, but a worthwhile addition for 4/4 and Plus 4.

P.S. 
I noticed that Dave has either not been supplied with, or not used the correct Countersunk Bolts. This leaves his Bolt Heads exposed and reduces the ground clearance?

Note from Designer & Manufacturer, Cain Poulton of Wolf.

Extreme Rock Crawling can be akin to the local high street pillow humps, speed humps, Steel Ferry ramps or just the plain old Stately Home entrance gates!

In the development process, the Prototype was made of 5mm thick T7075 aluminium and is a clone of the 3mm Stainless steel Rub plate on sale now.

The Prototype is still on the Wolf Cafe Race protecting the delicate brake pipe and curved part of the chassis that hangs low, it does show the scars of time with signs of deforming and deep scraping from all the EXTREME ROCK CRAWLING ON THE HIGH STREET AND NATIONAL TRUST STATELY HOMES!

After of some 7000miles of product testing we moved to Stainless Steel, to provide a product that will have long durability for our customers and not a throw away product that needs replacing.

There are a lot of damaged chassis, scraped, dented with galvanise removed at point of impact. 

The Rub Plate is as small as possible not to increase the possible contact area of the chassis with a folded leading edge front and rear to help stop a Mog getting hung up. 

Anything larger in width would increase the the forces transferred to the chassis crossmember as it would act as a leaver.
