Bob042 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Anyone have an original British Army bridge plate for sale? Must have 3 mounting point holes and fully rounded edge.

REME 245 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Have you tried e-bay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-and-military-vehicle-bridge-weight-plate/152740391004?hash=item239009685c:g:0ZgAAOSwA3dYU-Cb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob042 Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hi, Thanks, yes I have but with one exception at horrendous price, https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=15&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi-4JSnm5rmAhVRtHEKHV9JBqIQFjAOegQIBBAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FGENUINE-LAND-ROVER-WEIGHT-BRIDGE-PLATE-MILITARY-LIGHTWEIGHT-REFURBISHED-%2F153105982704&usg=AOvVaw08RGjXloruwh0Pz7774K_W, they are wrong for series vehicles and mostly copies.

ruxy Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 The one on EBAY (Marcus Glen) , I am certain the packaging label is identical to reproductions being sold by Champ & Land Rover dealers. I have had them in the past , I would rather have them than a original. The pressed edge is spot-on (I have compared). I just use a genuine bridge-plate for a drill-jig. The advantage of the repro. is that the steel is Zintec or a similar coating. Originals are just plain bright mild steel , you can blast clean them , prime & finish but if vehicle is in daily use - the rust comes through. Garage queen - I would still use a £15 copy.
