well compared upto the terrano the bars i got werre supposedly off a navara the bottom just didnt quite curl up to meet the terranos brackets on the chassis so i made two brackets from a old tow bar drop plate i had cut in half,
now the bars inn the right position with two bolts the other two brackets up the top sides of the a bar the only thing i could do with them was bolt them through the plastic bumper ,the question i would like to know is ,i used a m10 nylon lock nut and bolt with two flat washers, should i be using spring washers as no matter how tight i tighten the nuts if i try hard enough i can still move the assembly pivoting it on the two bolts if you see what i mean :thumb2

What ever you do, the 2 bolts will in fact act as hinges, you need another fixed point further away, to bolt through to a soild point, and a plastic bumper is not solid.

The normal bull bar on a Terrano bolt to 2 solid points each side.

yes thats exactly what there doing there like hinges on the bottom but i cant seem to find a solid point up above where the brackets are to bolt onto everything is further back behind the bumper ie,the front cross member in front of the rsadiator, do you think i should be using spring washer though as well?:doh

In my opinion, spring washers won't help, even if you welded the bolts so they could never move it wouldn't help, the twisting force or torque on the bolts would shear them. You need another fixed point a larger distance from the pivot.

The bullbar on my '94 T2 had a pair of brackets which were more like arms, about 8" long, which bolted to the panel either side of the radiator, protruding out between the grille and the bumper and fixed to a pair of mounts on the bullbar with 8mm nuts and bolts.
The lower fixing was to the correct chassis extensions with 16mm nuts and bolts.

so if i managed to bolt the bottom to the chassis and then as long as i bolt the top half to the panels on the body im ok ?

Thats how mine was fitted - the panels either side of the radiator had threaded 8mm holes (with a captive nut behind) and the bracket or arm had a 90 degree bend, allowing it to be bolted to the panel.

hello again ive seen the two holes youre referring to but they are not 8m there something like 6 m with captive nut behind i took youre advise made to arms but used the centre hole between the two to attach then had to connect to the bull batr so there are two attached at the botton on bracket two to the bumper and two on arms that go to the members either side of the radiator that should hold now i think :bow:bow
