    A-bar details

    I am in Oman and for mounting spots, etc. I’m about to have an A-bar made for my Defender 110 Td5 CSW (air conditioned).

    I need to know the normal diameter of the tubing usually used for an A-bar and also –if anyone knows this- the thickness of the tubing.

    The fabricator I’ve discussed it with has suggested not fitting it directly to the bumper. I’d be very glad to see some photos showing exactly how an A-bar has been mounted on an air-con Defender.

    Thanks.

    A bar

    How's Oman this time of year. Travelling or work trip?

    Had an A frame on Series 3 years ago. I bolted brackets to take 12mm bolts directly to the bumper in line with the chassis rails. Made the frame in the shape of a triangle out of 50mm angle with a tow ball hitch 50mm bolted on.
    Make sure A frame can't drop down as mine did. It dug in in steep country and lifted the front wheels of the ground. This resulted in very many scary moments as couldn't reverse up hill. A mate, a very very strong, and not too bright mate, pulled the A frame free.

    I doubt if their legal here these days but probably not an issue over there.
