diamond plate bending
« on: May 06, 2009, 09:54:26 PM »
I was wondering how hard would it be to bend a piece of diamond plate to use as a skid plate under a CJ fuel tank.  Would anyone have any insight as to how much it would cost?  Or where I could get it bent?  Ideally I'd like to find someone who can do it for a reasonable price...

Diamond plate is no harder to bend than normal plate. Is there a reason you want diamond plate? I would want a smooth skid plate, not a grippy one.

Maybe call up Frontier Fabrication.  They have an awesome break.  Maybe they'll do it for a couple bucks.

i made a skid plate for my old jeep the same way. scored the back of it with a grinder so it bends easy(dont score alot as to weaken it) then bent it on the tool bench. seemed to work ok.
