New Aluminum Skidplate was created by Pony Biy

 I've always wanted a more protective skidplate than the factory one on my 74 DT250, but there doesn't seem to be much of anything out there. So I decided to make my own! 
 I started out with 5052 aluminum, 3/16 of an inch thick ( typical aftermarket skidplate thickness ). It uses the factory front mounts, and for the rear it uses a hanger that slides above the rear frame crossmember. Once the front is bolted in place it can't go anywhere ( don't mind the Phillips head bolts in the front mounts, those will be getting replaced with standard hex bolts. ). The transmission drain plug is also accessible through the hole in the rear, so draining the transmission oil is easy with the skidplate in place. 
 If there's enough interest, I can always make more. It would fit the 74-76 DT250/360/400.
