Bush Tucker Man:
I've been informed by another '99 Td5 owner on 'LR Net' that all the towing-related holes in the cross-member are all threaded :(  :(

So my 'Loop' idea is blown out of the water, now I need to buy/find a cheap tow-jaw & pin

Nothing a round file won't solve  :wink:  :D

Yes, but you can't get to the rear nuts without at least removing the tank-guard, & if it acts as a cradle dropping the tank itself

Bush Tucker Man:
Fitted one of the JATE rings this morning (near-side), but due to the wonderful LR 'build tolerances', the off-side requires a longer high-tensile bolt (only about 1/2" longer), as the steering-guard appears to be off-set. so I'll have to got to the industrial suppliers in Wakefield later on.

I was also going to rearrange the Instruments, but it's settled into a constant heavy drizzle, so that's off the cards now :cry:

Bush Tucker Man:
Got another High-Tensile this afternoon from Dixon-Hall, but after meeting up with Andy('Range Rover Blues') I fitted it when I got home.

It's still a bit short, but it ought to suffice for now, as the thread is flush with the top of the nut.
I'll track down another next week, as that was the longest M12 they stock

Might have to go to BAPP at Castleford
