Hi Dingo55... i have had a look but cannot find the ticket anymore.... kept it for ages but probably put it somewhere safe...lol...
They were a standard Alloy four rod holder that bolts onto the bullbar via 2x u-bolt. They were on the left side of the bullbar and were in normal position when pulled over.....
Not sure what regulation it falls under officially as i thought it was just an old rumour as well but as the cop stated - unless actually carrying rods then having them in normal position is illegal. I believe the reason is -as someone mentioned earlier in post - that it has to do with pedestrian safety. If hit with just the bullbar it will be a blunt force injury - but if rod holders are attached they have a sharp edge and are more likely to cause severe injury, (severe lacerations) even at low speed collisions. ... but thats just my theory..
