not sure, its some form of metal, its very strong and its not that heavy either. We got it with the car, i tested it at mondello last day ( Well i made a mistake and put it to the test) hitting an grass bank with an stony underside (first corenr same place where everyone inlcuding Carnegie Launched his Car in 2002) i thought it might have damaged the sump from the big bang but it only marked it and it didnt move.

Its 16.38mm thick according to the thingamy bob measureing thing i have here.

We are changing to an lightweight high strent Mix sumpgard which is 8.2mm soon

must be very light or from what I can figure about rallyX it would have been long gone. At least it works though.

I put the thiknesses of my guards (8mm & 6mm) up on the technology forum but am also toying with a Carbon stone guard for Tarmac rallying, especially Single Venue cr*p

Looked at some kevlar sump gaurds and there was some company at the NEC that said they did them (they were €400 euro for the nova).

But they said that they could'nt gaurentee that it wouldnt break in rallycross so we have been searching around

Chris Flavell in the Historic Imp uses a Kaylan type material on the underside of the imp for forest rallying.

I havent looked into but I would worry that it is a bit flexible for a sump guard. I would guess it is great at spreading the load on a floor pan though...

I use an Alluminium sump guard (approx 10mm thick) on my Astra for rallies, it's a one piece guard with folds to strenghten it.

Have you got one yet rxie? I'm about to buy one for my stockhatch, costiong about £125 + VAT i think. Not sure on the material, but i'm getting it off a mate of someone who does BRDA Stockhatch, so it should be ok. Would you like contact details?
