Re: 1961 Apache

Ah. I see.

The original plate had holes in it to drain out the water. The reinforcement (or placement?) ribs would probably trap some mud in, and couple that with lots of dirt roads, and it may rust out.

I made a new one for mine out of 3/16" plate and just made it flat instead of bent, since mine is riding very low.
