Does anyone know if there's a bar available to suit a High mount? I've been searching for one for our new Puma, and have found nothing so far.
I do like the new bars below, but SWMBO wants something that protects the guards/lights more, plus I might want to have brush bars too, which the comp type bars don't look like they'd accomadate.

I am leaning towards the Rova-Craft tube bar as a replacement.

Drover, I bought and tried to fit a Rova-craft bar to mine a few years back and it didn't fit.
The top bars (out riggers) hit on the standard driving lights surrounds before the bolt holes would line up. Sorry I cant post any photo's, there at home on another computer.
From the photo of Nigels, it looks like the top bars are shorter therefore fit the SVX front grill.
The guys at Rova-craft in Perth were great, they let me return the bar no problem.
In the end after tring four differant bars I gave up and just bought a TJM type 13. I got sick of mucking about.

Mulgo's is modifying the Rova-craft bar to fit the SVX/X-Tech fronts ends. I think Daniel is cutting the out riggers off and moving them to more suited position, then having the full bar re-powder coated.

The bar seem to sit very close to the front of the vehicle. I was thinking that, if I go ahead, of bending up some new mounting brackets to move the bar out 50 or 60mm, that should also negate the need to modify the out riggers.

Cool. Daniel is a legend, never say ‘cant do’ sort of guy.
The bottom bar ‘should’ fit without interfering with grill/headlight surround? I think from memory the mounting holes in the bar where about and 1 ½” out from lining up with the hole in the chassis rail?
Good luck

I bought my winch bar from MM land rover in the UK,straight bolt up fit. Pat

Hi Pat,

Can someone please explain the "high mount and low mount" conceps/terms? I've mounted and used winches all over the world and AULRO is the first place I've ever heard the term used...

Cheers
