Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 Wagon Rear Quarter Chop Fill In Plates, Pair

Finish Your GQ Quarter Chop Properly

See our Restoration tools and Consumables for products to assist in completing the job

Performing a rear quarter chop is one of the most effective body modifications for improving clearance at the back of a GQ Patrol, but cutting the quarter is only half the job.

These rear quarter chop fill in plates are designed specifically for the Nissan Patrol GQ / Y60 Wagon to close the open lower quarter panel cavities created after performing a rear quarter chop.

Supplied as a matched left and right pair, the plates provide a clean weld-in solution for finishing the modification rather than leaving the rear quarters open or fabricating your own infill panels from scratch.

Ideal for GQ Patrols being built for custom rear bars, increased rear clearance and improved departure angle.

Close & Seal the Open Quarter Panel

A quarter chop exposes the internal cavity between the body panels.

Leaving this area unfinished can allow:

• Water
• Mud
• Dust
• Road debris
• Off-road contaminants

to enter the quarter panel cavity.

These weld-in fill plates provide a properly shaped panel for closing the opening and creating a clean foundation that can be welded, finished, sealed, primed and painted.

Designed for Weld-In Installation

These plates are intended to be welded into the openings created when the lower rear quarter panels are removed.

Once correctly positioned and welded, the surrounding area can be appropriately finished using normal automotive body repair techniques.

Depending on the desired finish, installation may involve:

• Trimming and test fitting
• Welding
• Grinding and metal finishing
• Seam sealing
• Corrosion protection
• Priming
• Body filler where required
• Final painting

Every vehicle can vary due to previous repairs, body damage and the exact position of the quarter chop, so the plates should always be test fitted before final welding.

Ideal for Custom Rear Bar Builds

A quarter chop is commonly performed when fitting or fabricating a high-clearance rear bar.

Removing the lower quarter panel provides additional room to bring the rear bar higher and tighter to the body, helping maximise clearance at the rear of the vehicle.

These plates allow the exposed bodywork to be closed and finished before completing the rear bar installation.

Suitable for:

• GQ Patrol off-road builds
• High-clearance rear bar installations
• Custom fabricated rear bars
• Touring builds
• Rock and technical off-road builds
• Body restoration following an existing quarter chop
• Repairing poorly finished previous quarter chops

Important Installation Information

A quarter chop involves permanently cutting and modifying the vehicle body.

Before cutting your vehicle:

• Confirm the desired chop height
• Confirm compatibility with your intended rear bar
• Measure both sides carefully
• Test fit the plates during fabrication
• Check the internal cavity for existing corrosion
• Treat exposed and inaccessible steel appropriately
• Seal the completed repair against moisture ingress

If you're not experienced with automotive cutting, welding and bodywork, installation by an experienced fabricator or panel repairer is recommended.
