Jimbo:
I've finally got all the missing parts - but unfortunately W&H don't supply fitting instructions with these things. Now I'm ok with the spanners, but don't want to go drilling holes in the wrong places.

Can anyone who has one of these fitted, take some piccies for me ?

Many Thanks
Jim

I've had one for years and you can either pop up the M1 to see it or if you can wait I can try to take some photos this weekend?

When I fitted mine it came with two fitting positions, one which keeps it towards the offside or an alternative which moved it across to the centre by a few inches. I chose the center mounting as it keeps it more balanced and allows all the rear lights to be visable (8-NAS light set-up on the rear).

(direct rear-view at that side?)

Litch, photos would be much appreciated - and if I still can't fathom it out, perhaps we could meet up so that I can have a real look.

I tried a 'dry' assembly on the kitchen floor (SWMBO is not impressed !), and it seems that I'm missing the long bolt that secures the stubby round bar to the door mounted bracket - another round of phone calls on Monday I guess  :evil:

Can't attach photos to PM's as they are too big, PM me your e-mail addresses and I will send them through.
