P1000 Diy skid plates

[Jaredgriffin29]

Cant seem to find the dimensions for a p1k5 full skid plate online anywhere. Does anyone have them ? My work has a burn table i can use. I can get them climbing underneath my machine but thought i would ask first.


Thanks

Maybe someone close to you has a stock skid plate you could barrow or have, There not a full skid but would get you started, it would be helpful for the access hole locations.

I will be headed to Chattanooga up I-59, Wednesday I’ll give you my unblemished factory skid if you want it.

Thats ok . I got my stock skid. I just thought someone might have had them for time sake. Thank u tho.

I used my stock one as a template. I didn't add holes as large as Honda to avoid big sticks and rocks getting on top.

Looks awesome! Going to make mine also. What thickness did you go with?

I used 3/8". In a year I have no regrets vs 1/2". It's been very durable and I have almost no wear or significant gouges. I think it was a little easier to work with and it's lighter too

I was thinking 3/8" would be plenty, thanks for your insight. What were the dimensions you bought?

 

[ToddACimer]

I bought a 4'x8' sheet but I had it cut to 30"x96" and 16"x96"

I think it depends on where you mostly ride.. if you’re beating and banging in the rocks all the time.. thicker would be good! If you bust one there is no warranty to replace, just buying another sheet.

Are you guys using uhmw or delrin?

Uhmw... whats delrin?

It's a harder plastic its easier to machine than uhmw

I don’t know that harder is good

I used UHMW because its a bit more flexible and less brittle. I ride at 0°F and enjoy hitting climbing ice obstacles. The UHWM has held up well. Delrin is an acrylic so it will be more likely to crack.

I'd consider HDPE but I think UHMW is still a better choice. In my experience UHMW cuts as easy as wood with the same tools.

HDPE is not as durable it’s cheaper but not as abrasion resistant. It will gouge much easier. It’s what a 5gallon bucket is made of.

Just talked to our supplier he says uhmw will be the best bet it's cheaper and Delrin might Chip on impacts. But the A -arm guards will be better out of delrin so it won't bend in and touch the cv boots.
