Kaymar Rear Bar Fitting

[Remy]

Has anyone got fitting instructions (photos of a rear Kaymar bar installed) for a P38?

I have no fitting instructions but they are pretty simple to fit.

I did it by myself but it's difficult because they are so heavy. I have a few photos - I'll see if I can find them.

The bit which is the forward part of the tow hitch bolts to the crossmember under the wheelwell. The bolt holes on mine didn't line up and they are a bugger to file out in situ.

Yep the forward part looks fine it is the wing brackets that i am a little unsure of. I will wait to see your photos.

thanks again Ron you are a life saver!

OK for others - the wing brackets goes through the main chassis rail. There is a plate covering it that needs to be removed hence why i got a bit stumped - it may not be there if you didn't have a Hayman Reece tow bar. Everything from there is relatively straight forward except for the bolts with long bits of wire attached. The wire is needed to adjust the bolts inside the chassis rail and get them into holes within the chassis (what a bugger of a job especially as i installed just about everything else before realising what these bolts were for). So had uninstall and start again. Surely it would have been better to weld the nut onto the bracket and feed the bolt in from the outer side of the chassis rail- oh well. All i can say is this is one solid bar the steel is heavy than the chassis rail itself - thanks again Ron!
Now to wire it up :eek:

Sorry, I'd forgotten about the nuts on wires. It's been a few years since i installed mine.

No probs - all part of the learning curve. The side pieces and bracket that connects to the car (your picture 53). The bolts that bolt to the bracket and rear of the bar are OK but did you secure the bracket the carr with two bolts as illustrated? How many square plates/washers/supports does yours have? I note one of the brackets has one little square plate and the other doesn't. Did you screw the metal plates on both sides of the bracket and then just a bolt through the other hole?

Mine came with two rectangle a little larger than the square plates and and 3 square plates.

I'll get under tomorrow and have a look.

The pics I posted were of another bloke's car.
