HDJ79 Radiator Bash plate
HDJ79 Radiator Bash plate
The PDI HDJ79 Radiator Bash plate is made from 2mm mild steel which is zinc plated and painted black. Mounts up using the original standard 4 M8 bolts. Has a hole for the radiator drain and extends further down the back to protect the steering damper from damage.
The PDI HDJ79 Radiator Bash plate is a simple folded plate to replace the OEM fibre reinforced radiator plate, which tries to protect the bottom radiator tank from damage. The radiator is somewhat poorly protected with the factory plastic unit so if you do any serious offloading and don’t want to kill the engine after damaging the bottom radiator tank then this is the answer.
The second picture shows the original unit that has been damaged after a trip into the bush to collect fire wood.
