Modified Turner Skid
Based on another members post I modified and stainless riveted an 1/8” thick mesh to the Turner skid plate to better protect the open areas. Pretty happy with how it came out.
1)Tape over the mesh for marking out
2)Slide mesh over skid and trace out notching with marker and square
3)Cut mesh
4)Tape skid with painters tape
5)Dry fit mesh over skid and mark thru mesh where 3/16” stainless rivets should go
6)drill holes where they are marked out with mesh in place, as you go drop a rivet in loose to index the mesh so it doesn’t move as you drip the rest of the holes
7)remove mesh and tape
8) put mesh back over and index several rivets before riveting to ensure a good fit.
9) rivet everything to completion. I used a Milwaukee m12 rivet tool. It made short work of it.
Project time 20-30 minutes going slow.
My car is being delivered this week and this will be the first thing I do to it. Pretty excited.!
