Guide wire from Brush Bar to Rack

(1/4) > >>

Sorry if this ended up being listed twice.  I am new to forums and find that I have abit to learn.

I need advice from a vetern.  Well done disco's are few and good advice is far between near me.

We have just added a Hannibal Rack, the truck already had a Brush Bar.  To avoid trees getting caught up I would like to add guide wires.

I have not yet been able to find close up photos for guidence.  

If anyone can help me out I would be very greatful.   I am hoping some good guidence will avoid those unforseeable challenges.

You can do it with bits from your local hardware store.  You need some steel wire rope, some rope clamps and a strainer so you can put a bit of tension in there.

Not sure what stores there are around, but our local B&Q warehouse carries all sorts of SWR fittings.  Essentially you can wrap the wire round the bull bar clamp it to itself, then take it up to the strainer and clamp it off, and hook the other end of the strainer on the rack somewhere.  Some bull bars and racks have fittings on them already to make life easier.


Whatever you do, make them removable because they are not legal for use on UK roads (that includes byways, etc.) and in my opinion they are really dangerous.

That's saved me a job then, I won't bother.

AFAIK the "only" vehicles that can be fitted with them are the camel trophy vehicles as they were fitted from standard with them (year dependant) & are also a classic vehicle  :?
