@ Tuppa good news and bad, You have the one motor bar combo I cant fit one of my points to.
Good news is I have a proto type thats nearly finished, I'll get some MDF samples cut and post to either
yourself or OD to check for fitment,
I know of no one with the same combo over this way, but a few members have the same.
Ill PM when I have the MDF samples.
Its all to do with that 30mm lip, personally I'd cut it off and fit my "tee" shaped ones,
but some dont like cutting bits off their Patrol lol
Hi all just an update , the Y62 are being cut and should fit first time and very strong IMO.
Also for ppl with the model/ bulbar combo like Tuppa Ive gone to the Laser cutters and picked up some MDF samples.
As OD has the same combo I'll either fax or email what I have so he can adjust to suit, all I know is the hole centres are right
just not quite in the right position. So bear with me for a while and I'll have points to suit all GU's regardless of the combo.
Its difficult getting hold of all the different Patrols as you could imagine.
FYI the Y62 I'm looking at has already done the front pinion seal and CV seals , bloody thing is brand new
Must admit he is ex comp truck driver[very good] so pushes hard off road.
Yet no excuse to be blowing seals, this Y62 is having a blower fitted soon
That's the same as mine Tuppa.
Hey Rocket you have the T one's is that right.Quote:

No mate, mine is exactly the same as Tuppas, 2005 TD42Ti with and ARB bar with that lip on it.Quote:

Just had a quick look and unsure whether I'm doing something wrong here but this doesn't look like it would fit ? Thoughts TD ???
That bit of metal i circled in red on second photo, the poin'ts wont make it in there with that there ? Am i lining these up wrong or ?

Here is a bretter photo of the prior one. Circled in red is the bit of metal in the way. Fair bit of metal off the bull bar bracket.

Yeah they wont fit I have a proto type here I was going to send to Once Disturbed to trial fit.
Yell out when you take them back and Ill meet you there. Bummer thats the same as Tuppa and a few others
I have one finished just needs tweaking.
Up date on the 4.2td's with the factory bar, Ive been trial fitting them with Eric[hodge]
finally got a design that fit , picked them all up this morning only to find the Laser Cutter did not include
my modifications, No biggie they should be ready monday or tuesday morning.
Happy to have this recovery point sorted at last
Must be to do with the airbag requirements on the wagons. I have an 04 ute so has a the same radiator etc as hodge but I dont have airbags. There is quite a difference between to airbag and non airbag compliant bars
With the help of Kallen Ive had a heap of washers cut that you can weld on when you flog out the bush end brackets
on the chassis. They are 40mm with a 16.1mm hole and 3mm thick so easy to weld.
Just PM if you require some will sell as a set of 4 for $8
I take it yours doesn't have that lip Hodge highlighted in redQuote:

Pm sent mate and roughly what fits what
Hi everyone need a hand from all those with the factory bar that bolts up to the OE
shipping tie down point. Basically need to know where that bolt is in relation to the hole.
EG is it right in the middle if so great, but need a few answers to get a complete picture.
Thanks in advance for this. as per post from Hodge 411
what year,i have a gu 2010 with a Nissan factory bulbar and it fitted up no problems?
Might have explained it wrong , where is the bolt that back[lower] one in relation to the OE tie down hole
Is it central. I want to cut a backing plate the same shape as the OE shape.
I think it will be better than using even a HT washer.
I think about 6mm either side [smaller] with the slotted hole may work, thoughts
Late edit;; Ive come up with a design that should suit it better, wooo hoooo
On Mine, the bolt is slightly to the rear. Can't see exactly as there is a big washer in the way, but I can see about 2mm gap at the front of the washer. If that makes sense. If u want I could pull the bolt out and take some pics for you.Quote:

That should allow it to fit all and cover that hole. oh and 4mm thick should do it I reckon
That sounds like a win to me.
Bloody hell mate, these things have turned into a pain for you
FYI you'll probably want 8 per set.. one each side of all 4 bolts..Quote:

Hi all need some help from the GQ owners out there.
Im getting some switch plates made for my GU that
suits the panel on the centre console with a few knock outs for some
switches, as we all know they are way too small.
I have the GU one all drawn up and will house 3 x Carling switches
and one toggle switch of your choice. The size of the GU one is 230 x 30.
All I need to know is the size of the GQ one If its the same great if not
a seperate plate will need t be cut. speaking of cutting it will be cut
from 2mm black perspex.
I've got my centre console out of the car at the moment John... let me know exactly what you want measured and I'll have a look at it tonight.
That space where you normally put the lockers switches
Just measure from the front please trying to make it as
easy as possible for others
Bumped for Winnie or other GQ owners
Crap, sorry mate I totally forgot.Quote:

@ Stropp or any others with the later model CRD GU can I get you to
run a tape on the centre console [arm rest] switch panel and see what you get.
The Di is 230mm x 30mm, see previous post for location.
will see if i can remember, i got CRAFT lolQuote:

The gq..
The gq has the power mirrors control in this pannel.. so not sure how that'll work..
Thats great thanks not all have power windows Id say.
204 x 35mm would fit. can fit 3 x carling in that panel
Good to see you have inches on your tape, lol
So I have the GQ and Di covered .
I see you have a dog to or a cat
You looking to overlap behind or insert to front??
Gu 08
Had a slanted top to it

Ripper the later panel is the same, not worried about that small angle.
You'll hardly notice it once the replacement panel is in place.
I get 230 can you measure from the 100mm mark and see what you get please, TIA
You need a stiff paint brush on the GQ to clean all the dog hair lol
You can either pop rivet or glue this new panel on from the front
Yep. 230 same as you
@ Kallen OOI is your panel blank mine is for an ST
I wonder if the more up speced ones use those knock outs.
