turbosubarubrat Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 These have been some awesome pics and building threads guys! has anyone ever built one that looks like/or is similar to this: Keep the ideas and building specs coming guys! That is a factory brush guard/add on at dealership. Put one on my hatch i need to cut out the winch plate and weld a bigger one in. Pic of one on the 82 brat i had Then there is the factory winch bumper. Only pic i could find without looking for hours. I have one for my 85 brat. It looks way better than that pic shows. Mine will be white and the brat will be bright red. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize it was a factory bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henpecked Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) some photos of a guard that goes in front of the standard bumper rather than replacing it., including a close up of the attaching brackets hope it may help for MY series, including brumby/Brat Edited September 3, 2015 by Henpecked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapper 157 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 That is a factory brush guard/add on at dealership. Put one on my hatch i need to cut out the winch plate and weld a bigger one in.

Mine will be white and the brat will be bright red. I would like to build one that is similar to the factory one. Do you think you could provide a few specs? Like how long the top bar vs the bottom bar is? And how far between them? Also, which material should I use? I was thinking 6061 T3 aluminum, since it is close to as hard as steel and is very weldable, and would also keep the weight down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
