All I want is a stock part that I can bolt on which is why with no other options in Australia I'm trying to create one.

plus unlike the classic we have to get everything aproved for airbag saftey.
but yes i dont have the time to make or the skills needed to build things that look any good and really who wants to fk up the look of their p38

The Guys at 4x4 Intelligence in Melbourne are apparently doing final measurements on a RR they borrowed in Mel and should start fabrication this week. I've paid my deposit and will keep you all informed how the final dual wheel carrier turns out and post the photo's.

If any one else wants to get on board let me know.

I'm told the bar will be at the fabricators this week and I should get it within 2 weeks. I'm expecting CAD drawings which I will post this week so you will have some idea of what the initial version will look like. I have also had included T - Slots for highlift jacking.

Regards Captain

I look forward to seeing it, Major.

yeah still waiting myself wouldnt mind seeing some pictures before i order

James said "Here is a copy of the CAD work that has gone to Fabrication. I have included T-slots for a high lift jack these are on the bottom of the bar on the inside of the chassis rail mounts due to engineering strength issues rather as putting them on the ends as apparently that would involve 20-30 kg of extra steel reinforcement. The pillar on the RH wheel is a antenna mount with an option to fit a light"

See below:

I just watched that video, so will it fit to a classic RR then? if so I am inrested in bar, with rear wheel carrier & light. $$?
