oops,accidentally sent an unfinished post! The shield I was referring to is: http://wetwesties.tripod.com/Journeys1/22.htm Journeys Under Difficult Conditions Drawing 44-278 It is not the same as the entire box that encloses the diesel engine In this page they recommend trimming the metal but for what purpose I am not sure. BenT:you dont need the HTML tags on your link, it is clickable without it.. Entity Benjamin Tan spoke thus: > I wonder if that protection plate is the same steel box that I see enclosing > my engine in my 16" w/ the 1.6td. It is definitely thicker and different form > the regular diesel sheetmetal box. It;s steel plate of some kind welded to > the skid bars. > > I tried to view the pics on that website posted earlier but the pics would > not load. Does nay boy have a clear photo of this protection plate? I will > eventually remove the one in my Syncro and take pictures.
