    I have recently had the front bar replace with this ARB unit, preferred another brand but it was not something I could do much about at the time.

    Any way when the panel beater put the recovery points on they were upside down / inside out, stuffed if I know how they managed it. Harrold Scrubie would have had orgasm's referring me to the authorities! They seriously impacted on my front approach angle!!

    The problem was there was no flat surface to get all 3 bolts in so they used 2 with a 25mm spacer on one!

    I took them off as soon as I got home and realised that to get them to sit correctly 3 x 25mm spacers were needed plus longer bolts. Some 40mm diameter aluminium rod cut and drilled to suit now has them sitting right.

    My question, is this acceptable to mount them like this?

    Some pics that might help explain.

    edit; The damn pics are all upright in the file but do this when linked, any help out there?
