bigwood:
 8)Thanks folks the picture gives me a good idea of what I should aim to achieve. I found an air hacksaw in the tool store at work this weekend, that should eat plastic quite well me thinks.  I am thinking on the lines of Paddocks steering guard but I will see if my trip to N/York's this weekend  breaks any thing before I make any moves. I need a battery tomorrow, tightening the alternator belt didn't help the slightly sluggish starting, flat battery at 5.30 am today :huh:

Disco Matt:
Get a steering guard with recovery points/jacking points built in if you can. I bought the Bearmach aluminium one (was worried about the weight of a steel one, daft though that sounds!) and then had to do some chopping and bending to add Jate rings later on. It wasn't too tricky but buying a guard with these things built in is easier.

freeagent:
i scapped the two silly little screws that hold on the bumber end cap, drilled out the holes and replaced with an M6 stainless nut and bolt.. is much sturdier now...

muddyjames:
Stop press. dont use a air hacksaw.

get a nice sharp brand new stanley knife blade and use 1 blade per end cap. leaves no rough edges and works a treat. I did this to mine and Dr Ed's on here. So much easier.

Will find a photo for you.
