I'm guessing he means that the holes are big enough to deal with each chassis' "idiosyncracies" in their dimensions.

For example, I have a 300tdi 1996 Defender with an ARB non winch bullbar so in theory your unit would be perfect for me and I'm def interested but I pranged my car into a rock and it sustained minor chassis bent. It all got straightened out OK but I'm wondering if it's straight enough that your unit will fit and if the holes will line up where theyre meant to.

From what Scarry says, they come out different from the factory so after my rock adventure who knows what the actual measurements are.

Hi, if your chassis was bent inwards to the other chassis rail then it would still fit as the guard is designed to mount on the outside of each chassis rail, the holes are 16mm and should be able to handle some diversity, the new puma guards we designed have slotted holes to allow for the differences in each model, and should be able to bend in when the bolts are tightened, if you dont want to tighten them up that much then they can be packed with 5mm washer each side. I am waiting on my manufacturer at moment, he promised mid next week so should be ready by end 2nd week feb incl galvanizing. will post pics when all done.

thanks Philco, what is the cost (powdercoated black) when combined with the steering guard?

**philco** · 3rd February 2010, 09:01 PM

The cost of the high lift jack mount in powder coat is $80.00, if a steering guard and jack mount are ordered together then there will not be any extra shipping charge than what i have quoted previously, shipping for the jack mount alone will be $10.00 australia wide.

I've got a 2001 TD5 110. I recently tried to fit another brand that supposedly was a "direct bolt on" not likely. It was supposed to bolte to the inside of the chasie.

I've got an old two poster alloy bar fitted. The outside side to side measurement is 810. I also had to straighten the little bulge in the strips between the main chassie rail and the welded horns.

The lower lip of the bar rests aobut 3/4 the way down the horns on the rubber pads.

What I need is a protector that will bolt on the outside or inside and importantly doesn't go heigher than the "horns" so it will not fowl the bull bar.

The bolt holes mine use are the very bottom bolt and the first hole from the front on the main chassie which is furhter forward than the lower attachment point.

Looking at the photo on the first post am I correct that the protector is designed to have recovery hooks attached?

Do you believe your protector would bolt up to this

Thanks
