Heavy Duty Drain plug/ Oil Filter access panel

[hibshman25]

Been working on heavy duty replacements for the nytro, apex/ vector. The Viper panel offers very little protection as well so I am going to produce replacement panels that are thicker. The BOP plates will be aluminum, but twice as thick as the factory plate. They will be a direct swap and mount with the factory hardware. Retail will be $22.

Below is a photo of the plate on my viper....it's bent! My front heat exchanger also has a slight bend in it. Had the stock access panel remained rigid the object struck would have not been as likely to catch on the heat exchanger.

Sign me up for the Viper panel x2.

I think the whole aluminum skid plate with the panel needs to be thicker

Did trial fit up on our heavy duty access panel and it fit up great. Will be having a batch made. $22 each. Who wants one?

 

[stingray719]

One for me please, I may go EVO turbo on other sled and EVO uses that area for a cooler

I have an order in for some plates. As soon as they arrive I will be in touch with all those that are interested.

I'm interested. Will this take place of front skid plate?

No this panel is just a replacement for the stock panel right under the oil pan and filter.

So if it's just a replacement for the stock panel, there are no added benefits? I thought it was a thicker and going to add more protection? I don't do much off trail riding, but would like more protection since the stock panel seems very thin, would I be better off just getting a ski plate over this?
Thanks

He had asked if it takes the place of the front skid plate and stated that it is a replacement for the stock panel. The plate is a thicker heavy duty panel for better protection.

$22 is cheaper than I can make it, I will be in for 1!!! maybe some chips come with this one?

Let me know as well, sounds like a great idea!

I have some in stock, and they are listed in the online store now. Order them in the store and I will send it out.

We did make one change from the prototype posted. Since our plate is thicker and does not recess flush, we have ground a chamfer on the leading edge so its less likely to catch on objects.
