yeah, pics would still be helpful.Originally Posted by wekilled
I'm actually "trying" to get 3 different sets made:
1) CUSTOM, from scratch-
we're deciding if we want to bring the tabs out any further than in the pass side pic. Thinking of welding the frame right there to the tabs, instead of an L or Z shaped tab. This way the guard will be a little more flush with the plastic lens (which was my request). They removed the tail light assembly, made some adjustments to move it to the left a little, and sanded down the inner vertical edge of the plastic lens a small bit...so we're making progress
2) Manik guards I got last week (tubular style like yours).
Have the same shape/pointy corner as yours on the top and bottom of the vertical bar. Looks like those corners will catch the rear door when opened. We felt they could grind down both corners a bit, weld corner back together if we need to really grind it down pretty far into that welded joint.
Did you offset yours a little to the left to avoid that corner, or was it solved simply by ?
Also they've cut the tabs off the Manik ones, and as soon as we decide on what style tab, they'll weld it on these.
3) Stainless steel FLAT style metal.
I haven't given up yet on these. One idea was to make a cut vertically at the junction of the 90 degree curve, then get them at the right curvature and weld a piece back in where the small section was removed, grind it down into the flat shape. Then try to bend the outer tube frame to match the new curvature.....or cutting out a piece of outer frame if necessary.
