'86 4000CSQ Skid Plate?

[Steve Sears]

Paul,
Funny you should ask.  I saw a 4kq a week ago with a _serious_ skid plate.
The car was set up for ice racing, and the plate came from a Mercedes ML
SUV - apparently they remove the skid plate to put on those bush bars to
protect the SUV from...um...errant shopping carts?...and so the skid plates
just sit around (they're very heavy gauge aluminum).  You have to make up a
bracket to attach the back of the plate, but the front just bolts in.  I'm
contemplating visiting the local Merc dealer to see if one would fit under
my 5ktq.
Cheers!

Hello All,


 Just wondering if there was a skid plate offered for under the alternator
and A/C pump. In deeper snow my alt. packs with snow and doesn't charge,
also
when going through puddles, it clears up in a few moments but squeals. If so
are
they available?
 Also looking for shift linkage, I'll post in the marketplace also.


Thanks,
Paul
