Bashed my bash plate

I think this is probably one of the more abused mantec plates out there. It was underneath Chris T's D3 when it was dropped of an ice shelf on the Cros in 2007 and today I discovered that I've added my own battle scar:


This is the undamaged LH side:


I'm fairly sure I did this on the tour around tonyLC80's estate - just before the really boggy bit there was a ditch crossing and I heard/felt a big bang. I actually thought it was the winch cradle, and I hadn't spotted this dent in the plate until this morning.

Glad to see the mantec plate doing it's job Thumbs Up

Ouch!
I remember a gentle bang, but maybe the slight extra weight on the nose of yours made it it down that much harder? Bodsys Brake Bible
