About to fit a TJM winch bar I recently acquired off ebay.
It was off a 300 Tdi Defender and fits the county well.
My passenger side dumb iron and internal anti crush tubes are badly rusted at the front and will need a proper repair job done first.
My question is in regard to the fixings to the chassis/dumb irons.
Each side has provision for what may be 2 x 8mm bolts.
I intend to get high tensile bolts for the job but was wanting to know the general consensus about the suitability of just 2 x 8mm bolts per side for a fitting ( bullbar ) that may ultimately be used for difficult winch and snatch recoveries.
