3 for sure
Also i Highly recommend adding Flat Plate to the underside. I also added Checker Plate to the top of mine. Without the flat plate on the bottom the cross braces will pick up BIG sticks and do WAY More damage to your sills that not having them in the first place....Speaking from Experience mate.
Nice one.
Cheers MR

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Pretty thin mate, just something to deflect the sticks and stuff. maybe 1.0mm or so?? Not sure on available sizes. Same goes for the checker plate. and either fully seal it (i did) or leave the corners open to drain out.
Good luck

Nice job mate, made mine myself too. nearly identical just used 50 internal diameter pipe. show some pics of them when there on. and how you did it, i.e. weld on clamp with bolts etc. Keep up the good work. I haven't got any plate on the underside of mine and nothing has happend yet, (touch wood) but after reading MR's post am going out to have a look at that right now.

I like the flat panel steel on the bottom so the stick just slide and deflect straight off . just putting checker on the top then each of those cross braces will remain as a decent snag and you will be amazed what a stick the size of your wrist will do coming UP through that at 60kph..I have had a stick that size come up Through my Floor under the front passengers seat while someone was sitting in it!
My Sills were destroyed over a few years at Each and Every cross brace intersection with a Dent big enough for an Apple to sit.. It took allot of work to fix and i welded the plate on and never had a problem since.
