morribm Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi All,Met fellow Kedroner CCC (Reg) in Kalgoorlie who noted the very exposed diesel outlet below the diesel storage tank on the front of our ATV2 and since we were planning to travel across the Great Central Road (1100+Km gravel, stones and dirt), strongly recommended fitting some sort of guard for the very exposed and rather flimsy outlet fittings. Managed to pick up some 1.6mm aluminium plate and fabricated a simple guard that tucks up into the shroud around the tank, sweeps under the outlet and is screwed into the chassis cross member (pic 1). The second image shows some of the swarf from the drilling process still sitting in the (exposed) guard - after travelling from Kalgoorlie to Laverton!! The last image shows the slightly deformed guard after the trip across the GCR. No doubt the diesel outlet was indeed very vulnerable and may well have been wrecked if the guard was not fitted. Thanks CCC.CheersBrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
