No can do...

I've just had another go at fitting my A bar and I must admit defeat. I took the grille off, but see no way at all to get to where the top straps have to be bolted on. Maybe if I removed the rads or complete bumper and I don't want to get that involved. What a design that you can't get a hand in let alone a drill etc.

Anyhow, I'll put it in the for sale section later and well as ebay. Shame as it's a nice bar

I have put a few new pictures and a video on Photobucket (1st link) as well as the ones I took the first time round (2nd link).

This is the ID sticker on it - http://s773.photobucket.com/user/paf...00091.jpg.html

Damned if I can see how it goes on. Unless I can get someone local to fit it, I'm gonna sell it...

Hmm looks to me like some pigeon has welded on those tags with some of his own crap

Blocky10 · 11-04-2015, 21:31

Banshee · 11-04-2015, 23:53

I would prefer to have it fitted than sell it. Will just the bottom bolts hold it OK?

Or if anyone is around my neck of the woods and would like some beer tokens if they could fit it I would be a happy bunny.

If you want to get rid of it let me know, I'm quite keen on it now at the right price

zippy656 · 12-04-2015, 17:09

no top fixing.

So are you saying that the bottom bolts will stop the A bar moving?

These are the fixings that I have - http://s773.photobucket.com/user/paf...rSide.jpg.html

I used the spot light mounts on mine as the top mounts had been cut off.
I made a couple of brackets out of 5mm flat bar.
I bolted mine to the top of the bumper.
Took out 2 of the clips that hold the plastic to steel frame and replaced them with m8 nuts and bolts.

OK I'll take another look later this week. I'll be able to cut off the bird crud welded brackets

Got any photee's of your spotlight bracket mounts? From what I can see from a photee of my A bar, the spot mounts are not high enough to a straight flat bar, did you make up a stepped flat bar?

Thanks.

Has anyone got a top grille clip that I could buy? I managed to drop one and for the life of me I can't see where it fell.
