The Hayman Reece model for the TD5 Defender will fit the Puma Defender.

Sure is available.

Front Runner from Opposite Lock.

I thought the mounting points for the new Fender were different, does it bolt straight up?

All the bolt hole positions are the same. You only have to flip the tie-down brackets on the chassis rails from the outside to the inside of the rails.

Be aware, the Hayman Reece bars force you to remove the rear step but give you more room for a long range tank.

The genuine bar lets you keep the step, but you will need a long range tank that fits inside the rear wheel arch (see Scallops for details).
