I've been cutting up the 4mm aluminum tread-plate I was given the other week to make under-body protection on my land cruiser.
So far I have made and fitted the transmission plate, haven't finished smoothing off the edges or adding additional bracing.
Started to work on the front plate, I have slit the sheet to allow me to bend it in the middle, i need to think about bracing that with some steel strips.
I have looked at peoples photos of ASFIR plates and other material. The ASFIR front skid plate has a bracket/support, to which the plate attaches to car - this has two sets of holes, front and rear to allow M12 bolts to fit to the vehicle.
I cannot figure out from the photos i have seen, where these attach. Do they attach where the recovery hooks go?
and do they interfere with these?

Tommo has shown a photo of the bracket with pair of holes
