[QUOTE="travelergold, post: 493656, member: 5200"] Just spent an hour making a skid plate for SDC2300 after minlab ones seem to be pathetic. Purchased plastic sheet, called HIPS from menzel plastics. Cut a mould from scrap chip board sheet by tracing around coil. Cut some sheet and clamped to mould then heated edges with heat gun and used a block of wood to form edges up on mould while keeping it flat on other chipboard. Slowly worked around mould and then used screw driver to get of mould. It fitted nice and firm on coil so very impressed, just needs a tidy up now. I left extra where knuckle is to protect knuckle, but next one will leave even more. Here is some pictures. Gotta be better than p!s weak minelab ones.
