Well, bit the bullet and Gav (GUtsy Ute) came up with a spanking good idea for the rear bar - he even bent up the template so I could organise the bending and pick it up yesterday (thanks mate! You're a star!!) - essentially the look below, and it will be powder coated black to tie in with the corner tubes and the new front tube bar next week. It's 2.6mm alloy checkerplate, so I don't think it'll be going anywhere in a hurry!!
Made up the brackets this afternoon (drilled and tapped an 8mm thread into them) and got them on as well as fiddled around with where the wiring/plugs are going to go, and cut out the slot for the tow hitch. Once powder coated, I've got stainless bolts to go on, that I ground the heads down on to get rid of the numbering and give a clean finish against the black of the bar.
Should get everything but the powder coat finished tomorrow and then I'll send it off on Monday. Getting there!! Bit by frustrating bit!! LOL ... a steel worker I am not I have figured out!!!!
