has anyone ever fitted a Mantec sump guard

Does it require longer bolts, or will the existing ones be sufficient.

thanks

The two at the front are much longer M10 by about 70mm - will check at the weekend when I strip her down again. The two at the rear are also longer M10 x 50ish.

Doesn't really matter if the rear ones are longer as they go into a large void.

DO NOT get the ones from Mantec they rust like there is no tomorrow. I copper slip bolts every time I refit them, and still had to run a die nut down mine again at the weekend.

I tend to take the rear one off every few months to get the debris from between it and the exhaust. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

Whenever I have fitted sump guards or diff rock sliders I always used stainless bolts and loads of Coppaslip. Never had any problems. John

Typical bloke - always think things are longer/bigger than they really are.

Front bolts = M10 x 45mm
Rear bolts = M10 x 40mm

45mm will do for both Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

So when you buy a guard you have to supply your own fixings?
Thats not a very good company to do business with is it??

And why dont they supply stainless with it if it seizes up when standard ones??

Another tip before fitting a Mantec plate.

Once you remove the standard towing eye cover, use black duct tape (or something similar, even paint) and cover over the remaining grey plastic frame.

When I initially fitted my plate, I didn't like the look of that grey frame showing through.

Looks way better when done. Thumbs Up FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.
