Alexus_300...how did you weld polyurthene to metal?

Also...why'd you drill two holes on the bottom?
I know in RMMGS4's version, he drilled 2 holes on the bottom his metal bracket so they can be attached onto the polyurthene piece

 

WOW ! Just caught your post to me. I'll Pm ya.

 

delrin. not delron. sweet mod. i like it.

 

I'm not sure where you're looking at to come to the conclusion that I'm welding polyurethane to metal.... Because I didn't do that anywhere on my brackets. The two holes that are drilled on the bracket is for me to bolt on my jack support that I attach onto it so when I'm on the track. That way I can just use my jack to lift the front end up easily to change brake pads and such. For everyday driving, I bolt on the Delrin pieces to avoid scratching the front end.

 

very interested in this, i want to go as low as possible without worry, someone who's already done or has spares, i don't have the resources to have them made where I'm at so i can buy the pieces from someone and have them put on here, just wondering though anyone doing 3 up front, like one in the middle?

 

Ohhh. the black piece that you have fabricated onto your tow hooks are metal? I thought it was the polyurthene piece haha.

 

Howd you get the fabrication done?

 

Get creative and start making templates of your skid plate. I used a piece of card board and drew up my skid plate and then transfer it over to a nice piece of stainless steel. Then I used a plasma cutter and went away with it.

 

Here’s the skid plate I made on my wife’s car almost 7 years ago. The black plastic is “Delrin”. A great material to us as a skid plate.

I provided fabrication pictures on this link. There's just enough info for someone with skills to make it themselves or have a shop do it for you.

I am currently working on a skid plate with Alexus_300 for my IS300. Pictures will be posted soon!

 

There are some fitting issues to the tow hook. I need to smoothen it out a little more the next time I remove my bumper. After that, it will be sent to Alexus_300 for fabrication

 

count me in for one.....you gonna sell some in the classifieds when you get them made?

 

I'm 100% sure if the towhook size of the 2GS and 1IS is the same, but I believe it is. Therefore, the bracket should fit both cars...however, I think I might still have to change the design of the bracket a little bit to fit it inside. I think it's hitting the inside of my bumper a little bit...

 

Tow hooks are the same size. If I'm going to get these things made, I need to get a accurate head count so that I can make them all at once. I don't really have the time to make one each time someone wants one.

 

How much are these going to run? If the price is right I'm also in
