This is where those painful bolts wnet.

The old bar is off. Left to right, the dangly bits are air spring bits, Anderson Plug and trailer lights plug.

The new bolt on the left, the old bolt on the right. With the hassles of fitting this bolt in, we used the longer bolt, the old one.

The bar is in! Dangly bits are still dangling and the lights yet to go in.

The lights are in. And turned off. The brightness is a reflection from the flash.

Note the complimentary padded work mat that came with the bar. There are two of them.

Tomorrow the dangly bits get un dangled.

Julian I think those work mats are padding that is wrapped to protect the bar inside the box
, but can be also used as work mats.
lol you didn't waste time fitting it, now the rad?
cheers, Mario

I have to fit the dangly bits in, tomorrow. The rad on Friday.

I really thought it was nice of them to include those mats. I used my the same day i put the bar on, then when i finished i rolled them up and put them in the shed for the next fun job

could you pm me cost and who you purchased from please.

Having previously fitted two of these I've found best to remove those two thick washers on the top of the tow hitch. Once done the bolts go in easier and the fitment seems better. Unlike the plastic bar, the new steel one sandwiches between the tow hitch and the chassis so fills up the space that the washers used to.

Miss 12: “aren’t they all a bit temperamental? So if they’re all girls how to more Landy’s get made?”

Good question
