Gday Phill

Pm sent this is an old pic of my bullbar and snatch hooks tell me if you think they will be in the way.Also a front on pic, it has brackets mounted on the inside which my hooks are attached to.Have a quick look if you need another angle(pic)let me know.

The guard will be mounted on the outside of the chassis, the recovery points can be mounted on the outside, i have added on the new design, 2 holes at the front of each side for recovery points, please see the pic of my defender on the first page of this thread with the hooks on the outside.

Hi

Can you put me down for one please. I will have one for my 300 TDi 110.

I can come and pick it up as i am down the gold coast all the time.

Cheers

hi to all interested in these guards, I have been inundated with orders and had only done a small run on them not expecting them to be so popular, I have a 2nd run on order to go through the laser cutters in the next week, 5 standard guards and 5 arb compatible guards, I will honour all orders and try to get them ready as fast as i can, My apologies to everyone for the delays, This is the first time i have done business with Aussie manufacturers as I have in the past only ordered from overseas and sold the stock when it arrives. I want to keep with the local made items and designs and do not want to go to Asia to get everything made.
I hope I have not p#*^#d anyone off and am doing my best to get these done. Regards Phil

Hi all, I got a new batch of steering guards for defenders available in a week or 2 the process to finished product has changed a bit. I am now getting them zinc coated then powder coated. works out better for me than galvanising.

If you have a different choice of colour to black please let me know, it may take a week longer to put thru the powder coaters.
4 x std guards
4 x to fit vehicles with ARB bullbars

Hey Philco

What's the difference between the standard guards and the ones to fit Arb bullbars?

Only reason I ask is we have a Mantec winch bar on ours.

Std ones fit directly onto the outside of the chassis rails and the ARB ones are 10mm wider to allow for the bullbar mounts on the outside of the chassis rails.

all holes are to fit directly onto the existing holes in the chassis.

I have added another hole at the front of the guard to be drilled out for a recovery hook on each side as in my pics on the first page.
