Only bolts through the chassis rails. Mine was slightly bent when I got it and consequently was an absolute pig of a job to fit but didn't have the time to get them to rectify. If they have a quality control issue make sure it is all true when you pick it up.

Thanks guys pics were very clear, ill will most def look before handing cash over

Well picked up cradle today and i have to say its a serious bit of kit, very well made and about 8mm thick pressed and welded, really fits like a glove, i now glad i didnt go the home made route.

Yeah, it's pretty well bombproof. Would stiffen the whole front end up as it braces between the 2 chassis rails and the first crossmember.

well its all fitted up, very happy with fitting, really snug, just gotta move No plate up a bit and secure control box and were done

They supplied mine with a big patch of flaking powder coat and then had a whinge when I told them that I wouldn't accept it.

Then, all they did was powder coat it again over the existing which made it that couple of mill to wide to easily fit between the chassis rails.

Needless to say I wasn't a happy chap.

Mine was the same, **** poor i reckon
