Skid plate for M42
« on: June 21, 2010, 06:12:17 PM »
Made a skid plate for my M42.

I wanted one and no one was selling them. So I made one from 10 gage steel. I have made some and they are in stock and ready to ship. I would sell for 165$ for steel/powder coated. Complete with hardware and instructions. Shipping runs $15 to $30 paypal is order@raceskids.com Thanks

Do these have an access hole for the drain plug or do you have to remove them to perform an oil change?

is it possible to have one cut out of aluminium maybe 1/4 inch? with mounting holes and drain plug only cut into it? if so how much  do you think it would cost to have one made?

Yes, I had to work unfortunately. No "weekends" at the hospital.


BUMP for a great product. Judging by all the scrapes on the bottom of mine, I'd say it has saved my oil pan numerous times.
