Mounting a Rear Winch
Discotel:
Why do I need an SVA then...I assume its because I have modified the structure of the vehicle..!...I dont think I will bother to be honest...How will they find out anyway..!
Any build pics would be great cheers Jay.

yes, if you play with the structural members of the vehicle it needs an sva. but like you say, they are not going to know. the only way that it could bite you back is if you (god forbid) have a big accident and there was an investigation. but like i say the defender crossmember corrodes and needs to be replaced. as 90% of people do not use origional landrover parts does it need an SVA???? what about an after market crossmember with a winch mount in it would that not need an sva? big grey area pal.
contridicting evereything i have just said but......damn they look cool with a winch in the arse end! :D
DiscoDan:
Scorpion do a demountable winch bracket, pic taken at Billing stand.
They also do a steel steering guard to make the same winch demountable at the front.
HTH, Dan
Discotel:
Again thanks for all the input guys, I am well up for it now...I gotta do this just for the hell of it...I dont know if I will ever use it but I guess when I do it will have paid for itself....And it will look the bolox...
Watch this space boys....Oh by the way I am gunna try and finish it off with a nice bumper around it.
Terry
P.S Any other pics would be great
Range Rover Blues:
There's some rule about repairing a chassis/structure that allows you to repair a chassis, but the rules are open to interpretation so if you weld something one that wasn't originally there then it needs an SVA.
