Disco 1 Group Buy

i just emailed my mate a few pics of winch bars and he's gonna get back to me on prices, as for sliders the will most likely be in the rovertym style

I may be interested in some sliders depending on price.(they look similar to ones i was thinking about making)Maybe even winch bar if price and design is right.Cheers Brett

mmm ,I 'm not sure how you'ver come to that conclusion ,but I was just merely suggesting that the Rear bar shown in the pic was a Good looking Rear bar if you were to Fabricate a Rear Bar.;)

I think that if your seriously considering doing this and offering these products (either yourself or through the steel fab business) you want to get the designs right.

There are so many designs around, and only a few good ones.

I think you can also do better than the scorpian bar too (but thats my personal opinion)

I will do a few designs a send them over too you within the next week.

Cheers.

no worries, sounds good

Other considerations to think about at least :

If you install a non ADR approoved bar then not only may your vehical unroadworthy also may not be insurable.

If you have SRS airbags then fitting any of those bars make for an illegal mod which then means your vehical is unroadworthy.

Rear bars which incorporate a tow hitch have to be ADR approoved or the same will apply.

I dont think you will be able to build them for 1/2 price if you include steel and labour, maybe if you were to make them for the price of the steel then it's a possability but the labour will kill you.

By the way, Jamies Disco is Buy it now for $10k and is pretty well worth it IMHO.If anyone is interested in details PM me as Ive been out with hin in it a few times and Driven it once (even run into the back of it once lol).

Bull bars only have to be ADR approved if the car has airbags. Otherwise as long as it meets relevant traffic authority standards of design it is fine.

If you have SRS airbags then fitting any of those bars make for an illegal mod which then means your vehical is unroadworthy.

Depends on which year your car is. Airbags can be removed legally if Pre ADR 69 or as a factory option

Rear bars which incorporate a tow hitch have to be ADR approoved or the same will apply.

As long as it meets standards no approval is required. The issue is not necessarily the hitch, it is the mounting of the bar to the chassis.

Cheers

i would be interested in some sliders if the design and price were right, if he decides to make a bash plate i would be interested in that too.
as for the rear bumpers the first one pictured didn't have a tow hitch or room for it so thats NBG, how ever the second one looked like it could work with an existing tow hitch. If it can't tow its a no go:D.
