Same goes for bullbars but it didn't stop them gettinng banned either.

Thing is I guess that a cheesewire could turn a surviveable accident into a decapitation, plus they are hard to see.

Post by: Disco Matt on June 24, 2009, 16:39:34: A friend of mind has some very neat bushwires with a clip hook on one end (like a mini winch hook) and a small turnbuckle on the other, so he can put them on for scratchy tracks or take them off for the drive home in about 2mins.

Post by: stretchy on June 25, 2009, 15:21:57: i got all the bits to make a set from b&q all for like £17 they work realy well when laning and you can just loosen the turn buckle and the mini d link and take them down easy. I will say if you do make a set yourself make sure you make a good strong anchor on the wing as they take a lot of stress

Better be careful, Mr Plod is looking for any reason to 'do' us these days.
