Protect the Sprinter you have made ready to travel
A camper conversion takes time and money, and you want to enjoy it once the road gets rough. This Almont guard protects the gearbox and transfer case on your W907 VS30 4Matic from October 2022. Choose 6 mm or 8 mm duralumin and fit it with the required matching front guard.
Protection for the 4Matic drivetrain
This is the 4Matic version, rather than the earlier W907 4x4 guard. SportDuty is 6 mm at 10 kg and HeavyDuty is 8 mm at 12 kg. We would favour HeavyDuty for a substantially equipped camper and demanding rough-ground travel, while SportDuty is the lighter choice for less demanding use.
Choose your version
PDMBS3B26 is 6 mm SportDuty at 10 kg. PDMBS3B28 is 8 mm HeavyDuty at 12 kg. Match the October 2022-onwards 4Matic application as well as the thickness.
Why we recommend Almont
The material is a large part of what makes Almont protection worth considering. Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin combines high strength with less material weight than steel of the same size and thickness. A scrape will not start red rust in the alloy plate, helping it stay a worthwhile long-term addition to your vehicle. Mud and road salt should still be washed off, including from the separate steel brackets and fixings.
Almont has specialised in vehicle protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid events. Its protection is designed and manufactured in Spain. You are choosing specialist underbody protection for the parts of your vehicle that have to face the rough ground first.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my 2020 W907 4x4?
No. This version is for the VS30 4Matic application from October 2022. The earlier 4x4 drivetrain uses a separate guard.
Do I need the front guard?
Yes. The matching VS30 4Matic front guard is required for the linked mounting.
What is included?
The protection plate, matching steel mounting supports, pre-installed fixings, certificate and instruction manual, and Almont sticker. Other guards linked on this page are separate purchases.
Will the plate rust if I scrape it?
The duralumin plate will not form red rust when scratched. Wash off mud and road salt to help prevent other corrosion and to look after the separate steel brackets and fixings.
What does the warranty cover?
Almont provides three years of cover against cracking of the plate. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
