Southdown fitment

(1/5) > >>

Damonski:
Im on the verge of making the order for the southdown rear tank gaurd with the removable towing plate.  Does anyone have images in their galleries of its mounting points?  Just want to make sure Im not going to have any problems on the mpi.

Cheers

Damonski:
After a bit more searching I found on http://www.landroverdiscovery.net, Darrens mentions that it attaches to the four standard towbar mounting points.

 :D

Frankie-Boy:
Yep, that's about it Damo, It comes with two extra lugs at the front but these were impossible to attach but I was told they weren't needed anyway, I had one fitted for a while and had no trouble with it, good bit of kit but bloomin' heavy.

Range Rover Blues:
I'd go with that, bl**dy heavy.

The front 2 mounts need to be marked on the chassi once the guard is fitted, then remove the guard and drill through.. I'm going to fit a tube in from the outside of the chassis (through an oversized hole) and weld it to the outher chassis.  You only need the 3rd pair of mounts for extreme off-road as the guard will rest on the fuel tank crossmemeber under compression, it's when you are using it for recovery you need better attachment.

Damonski:
Just collected one tonight,  Ill triple that Bl**min heavy!

Just drooling over it, its awesome in contruction, got the dropplate and the recovery eye with it too.

I like the fact that the recovery eye fits on the side of the tank drops and the towplate fits on the outside so you can keep that recovery eye on all the time.

Hoping for good weather tomorrow to get it on!
