Bumper Removal Towbar fitting

300bhpton.

I agree that some stainless fixings are of dubious quality but some reach industry standards in both 8.8 and 10.9 strengths.

Thanks guys all done, nice steady job without too much hassle apart from the older I get the longer jobs take as I keep losing things. Put the 2 angled brackets down, lost 1 of them, no idea how, but it dropped on the floor, then lost the 19mm socket somewhere between the workshop round the back of the house & the car on the drive at the front. Then after finding the socket in the back of the car lost one of the 12mm locking nuts, it was underneath the mat I was kneeling on that had never been moved, then couldn't find the electric socket & bracket. Oh & the rain which meant I got everything put away only for it to stop, so got it all out for it to start again. Still need to do the electrics, but hopefully that can be done one night this week.

Wasn't raining tonight so as a bonus & a way of keeping away from the grandkids, I went out & routed the cables into the nearside wing & connected them all up to a spare TEB7AS I found in the workshop. Running a temporary feed direct from the battery proved everything worked including the additional reversing lights I've fitted. Only thing to do now is sort a proper permanent feed out, are there any spares easily obtainable under the dash or is it just as easy to go back to the battery?

Was rummaging around in the back of the Jimny yesterday & came across 2 of the special bolts with the tabs on, they are unused & in the back of a Jimny that has never had to towbar, one of those weird occurences, that are beyond explanation
