For those waiting I should have them back from the sheet metal guy next week

John, I've got a 2005 TD42tI which has the lower radiator guard and an ARB Bullbar which mounts as per the pics above.

The folded points won't fit due to the radiator guard.
The "T" points won't fit due the the folded leading edge of the bullbar.

Do you have any other options?

I do have a spare standard front Nissan hook from another vehicle I will mount on the passenger side in the mean time, at least I can spread the load across 2 points, but would like something more substantial in there long term.

Is that one of my flat plates on the inside of the chassis,
You have now become the third person with this combo Ive come across.
Im going to the laser cutters next week I do have one but it needs some finessing
I might get him to cut some out of MDF and post them to you for a trial fit and see how we go from there.
What I would probably do is if it was mine is install the tee shaped ones , buy cutting that flange off
and welding the TEE plate to it. plenty of ways none easy
from memory that lip is 30mm yes???

[Rocket55]

That's not actually my car, so I don't know what that red plate is in the background, but it's exactly how my Bullbar mounts up. Yes the front leading edge is around 30mm wide.

I'd prefer to avoid welding stuff if I can.

Happy for you to send out some MDF ones for a trial fit.

[threedogs]

do you have 3 vacant captive nuts on the inside of the drivers side chassis.
Passenger side will only have the holes

[Rocket55]

Yes that's correct. Drivers side there is 3 captive nuts in a triangle configuration, 2 at the bottom, 1 at the top. The passenger side, these are just empty holes.

You would need to remove the fan shroud to get a bolt into the rear most bolt hole and it looks like a radiator out job to access the other 2 bolts.

I have the same setup John. ARB Delux bar and long radiator. Would likely now be a very common setup.

[threedogs]

LHS is remove the bullbar ,I think Mudski did a DYI thread about opening up the end of the chassis.
My GQ plate fits the RHS of most models and years, but only as asingle
