Well the paddocks one turned up today.... will post some close ups of it in the morning.... I think tomorrow will mostly be spent re-welding it, and seaming it in places it really should have been done in the first place... I have seen the reviews of the MIB ones and they are meant to be a lot better... But unfortunately I had to go down the cheap and chearful...or maybe that should have been Tearful... hey ho...

hrh_dave:
Well so far...

Ive got the loom into the new  xmem... only to find a lot of sparks etc that I have grazed the loom with the grinder deep joy... And the other slight problem... this is not a one person job... and to top it all... Its just started lashing down... So in the immortal words... rain has stopped play... GRRR

Axetamer:
When I welded mine on, I wrapped the loom in silver foil to protect it from melting when welding around the extensions near to where it comes out of the chassis.... I found plenty of spare in mine...... although mine is a D44 rear winch x-member which is very heavy duty compared to a paddocks one...fitted it myself on my own with no trouble...held it onto the rear tabs to the tub with the old bolts to support the weight, then it can be rotated into position, I then used clamps on the extensions...tapped it into position ..tacked and welded

Hope this helps....
