As I was sitting in the garage last night I saw the engine Guard plate for my quad and it started me thinking about the what if's. The panel beneath our feet is just plastic and in the event of an incident something could something come through the floor? I also have a heat shield under the passengers side that is just taped on and is scheduled to come off when I least expect it. Is there a product out there that bolts onto the underside of the SS floorboards or do I have to make them?
Guard Plates for under side of Slingshot

Alpha has a skid plate...not sure how far back you want to go

I would think you would have to have them cut/made. I've not seen any belly pans here except for an engine guard/pan. I would think that some 3/16 aluminum could be mounted under driver/passenger side to basically CYA.

The floor panels are easily removed and could be replaced with some rhino-liner'd aluminum or steel. I have been considering it.

Looking to go from the front of the cockpit to the crossbar under the seats. I checked out the Alpha skid plate and I don't think this would work. i will start drawing this and see where it goes. I have looked at replacing the plastic with steel however the force that would act against these would be from the underside in most cases and these would easily be popped out. I would think leaving the plastic floorboards in and installing a plate that covers the frame on the underside of the floor that is hooked over the frame pipes would be much stronger in event they would be needed. If it is raining I will have to jack up the SS and go under and measure the dimensions as well as the bolt patterns that are existing and make a pretty CAD drawing

Sounds like you will have to make a custom one. Do you really think its needed? I would think chances of damage are low, but Ive been wrong before, ask my wife.

I thought I was wrong once...but I was mistaken
