3/8  :o :o :o

I would of thought something around 3/16 with either a few ribs or cross brakes in it would have be sufficient ??

I think 3/16 should be enough. That's about 5mm thick if needed you could add a few braces. That would be lighter and lighter is allways better  ;)
But, tracker8wr if you find some time post pics of it installed  :D

LOL ! I like to "over engineer" things myself but when I seen 3/8" I thought your next question would be "how do I get another 20Hp out this thing to compensate for the weight of my bash plate ?"  ;D
