So, I guess my EA82 Loyale was supposed to have a skidplate from the factory... funny 'cause right now there's nothing but air below the oil pan, I had no clue a plate came with it. I work at an aircraft repair facility and we have all the resources to make one, including 1/4" steel plates that have been collecting dust on a corner, begging to be put to good use. I am already making a plate for my Forester, I got the measurements from someone, now I am considering making one for the Loyale too. Now, can someone do me a favor and send me a pic of the underbelly of an EA82 with the plate installed? I don't know exactly where this thing is supposed to bolt to. I'm going to fabricate a stand in beforehand out of cardboard, then measure the thing properly and then cut the steel piece. Measure twice, cut once...

hey, I'm wondering if this is the plate you are looking for. I think it's off an 84 or 85. if you fab on then you are probably looking for more coverage than this

18" long, front bolts 11.75", rear bolts 2.5":

Check out the for sale section for Monstaru's skid plate.

 

If you've got enough steel plate, make a rear skid too to protect the diff.
