is there any chance you can post a few pics of the brackets you made to fit your A bar on dirtydogz? Did you need to do any welding? Im after one, and if its a case of making a few brackets, then im might give it a stab and follow your lead with one from a later jimny :-)

Hi Nelson83



The brackets are from build base or wickes about £4 each.
No welding just bolt on.
This is the bracket l used but not from screwfix.

Hope this helps.

Guessing the big bolt with the washer is the orginal mounting point and the two smaller bolts are the ones that youve had to moddify to fit? Looks fairly simple to do - dont suppose you have a link to your supplier at all :whistle: ;)

i know it sounds strange but if you a get a normal wheel that the speedo is set up for, put a mark on the tyre and a mark on the floor, roll it to it has done a complete circle then mark the floor again and then do the same process fith you bigger tyre you see you be doing about 10inches + each rotation of the wheel, so my made said, it doesnt register on the speedo but will probly take a little more fuel, just somethign to bear in mind!
