strapping young lad:
fair enough

means removing the tow bar which is by no mean feat as the bolts are happy where they are and dont feel like being unbolted from the car!  :roll:

anyway

i need to drill the chassis to mount it fully but dont know where though yet

ive asked on uk lro for any tips on those peeps who've mounted them.

same thing goes for you lot who've got one

help!

Wanderer:
I'll reply on here as it's easier Dyf.

The bumper will have to come off to get to the towbar bolts as they sit under the bumper. WD40 everything as soon as you can and let it sit for a while when it does its work.
I ended up snapping the bolts that go into a captive nut in my bumper but I was fitting a new recovery bumper so wasn't too worried.

I'd guess and say that the Southdown can bolt to the bolts that hold the tank straps on the front of the tank. I can't be sure but that's how the Scorpion tank guard mounts.

The tank strap bolts have the nut on the top. I got longer bolts and reversed them so that the bolt head was on top. Then put the nut on and tightened it up. Leaving  a longer thread where the guard could be mounted with another nut.
This meant I didn't have to take the weight of the tank as the tank straps were undone.
In fact the tank didn't ever move as it was held by three bolts all the time.

If the southdown doesn't bolt there.
Forget it all  :(
