Thread: ARB bar fitting - a few questions.

Bloke suggested I head down to the local bolts and fittings place, got all my pieces for less than $50
So, I noticed on the fitting instructions and parts list, there are no nuts for the bolts that connect the bar to the crush cans.
Soon worked out why, you wouldn't be able to put them on...
So, given that the ARB instructions say its all good, I figure it is.
Just seems odd, anyone had any issue with the lack of nuts?
Second question.
Is there an indication of where to drill the vertical holes in the chassis rails?
Given as my bar already had the vertical hole drilled, can I just use that as a reference point?
Cheers

..... I only just got that....
Didn't think that one through did I?

Looking at the fitting instructions. When you put the crush tube/deformable mount on. You should be able to put in 4 or so bolts into pre-drilled holes in the chassi. Then just look at the mount and you will see the missing hole in the chassi.
Just run the drill up thru the hole in the mount.
Think it was the inner hole in the mount.

Thats looking at the instructions for the winch bar I just brought.

I can understand why you don't have any but why do you have an issue with that? (you opened the door - I'm just walking in!)
