Hi Wortho,

What type/brand bull bar are you fitting to the SVX? And coloured black like the steps I presume?

We are fitting an ARB bar (second one we will have done to an SVX) it's painted same as sidesteps (silver) first was black.

Sounds a bit funny I guess when you have only seen a photo of the thing, and I have seen it up close, unsrewed the reflectors, checked for wires, found none and found no provision at all for a light setup. But apparently I'm still wrong

Don't need to have been there when you took the photo, i deal with ARB bullbars all day every day, i have seen them being made in the factory, i have fitted them to Defenders and lastley i have one on my wifes Defender.
Was not having a go at you mate, it's hard to get the same meaning in your words when they are typed not spoken, sounded friendlier in my head as i typed it sorry if it came across different.

Can't edit the post again sorry, it won't let me :(

And alright I admit defeat. They do have indicators, I had a squiz at a really nice Puma at AGFEST yesterday and that had indicators.

It was just mine didn't, and it teed me off a bit having people tell me I was wrong when I knew I was right. ;)

No you WERE wrong:p

You said ARB bars have reflectors, not indicators

This is untrue, from new, they all come with flashy things, someone must of replaced yours, for some strange reason:o

And just to be a pedant for the sake of a bite:angel:, they're not reflectors, nor are they indicators, they are repeaters:D

Indicators in Bullbar are an ADR thing. Or am I "repeating" something:p

Nice rig Allan. I too have an SVX and love it, and I mean I really love this car, I have had cruisers, discos, wrx, short wheel base cruisers and the SVX is sooo cool. Hey, are you happy with the alloy checker plate installation. I have been thinking of doing it, but I was nervous enough when I took a drill to the guard to fit the snorkel. Drilling a suite of holes for the plates is a serious choice

For the others, I found an old bar, I think TJM for $200, and with some very minor welding fitted the winch and all is good. The bar did not have winch mounts, but it does now. I am not the best welder, but the mig makes it pretty easy. Besides it allowed me to fit a serious recovery point, a 4 tonn eye ring reinforced by 6mm plate. I also mounted tabs for the spots and antenna.

The mid-bar didn't need removal as it ran just below the main beams. Besides, I have HID H4 mains, HID H9 aux-lights, plus a pair of iron man HID spots. Light is not an issue.

Picked the bullbar up yesterday and when to fit it this avro. You guessed it, it doesn't fit :mad:. Frame rail holes on the bar are 84mm, frame rails on the Fender are 86/87mm!!!!! Guess I'll be sorting this out on Monday.
TJM type13 bar is starting to sound better al the time:confused:

Couldn't be too hard to modify it could it?

BTW that is a great looking bar :)
