Hey AP ,

I recon they are great. Anything to protect to save the cost of replacement has to be great. Yes there is a little bit of difference in fitting between yours and ours. On ours its 4 nuts and bingo ,its on. I hate to think how many there is for you.

That is why we are sticking to the M.Y. subaru and putting the newer model stuff into them Eg : ej , gearbox, diff. It keeps things easy for us old rednecks. lol.

Dunno but I don't think it would be too hard to bend one up with a suitable bit of steel and some heat...

Some change left out of $90 . Cheaper than a diff, well say a vlsd, clutch pack lsd etc.

I have the Factory Subaru (read it looks identical except the sticker) one on my ute and it has saved the diff a few times by the big scratches on it.

On friday we done a gearbox swap out. For some reason first gear suddenly became hard to select. None of us have come across that before.

Like the rest of us, we have upgraded a little to a newer model Subaru. Last but not least, this M.Y. has been replaced by a newer model. This one was replaced by a L series. I believe it was owned by a forum member.
