I needed an accurate distance from the bottom of the exhaust end plate to the mud guard so I jumped my program and made the guard. It had to be done anyway. It is 3mm plate with a 90deg bend on one side that bolts to the tank and the outer edge is 5mm thick angle that is riveted every 3" the full length. I was fortunate to have the old guards on this tank to copy from. As I progress with the fabrication of this little tank, I am understanding more about it day by day. By the time I have done the both of them I think I'll know them inside and out. Literally" It's quite exiting doing these instead of carriers. I'm looking forward to making a pair of turrets.
