hi,
today i had a reccy to see how 'easy' it will be to fit the "A" frame bar to the front of my (mums til after xmas) corsa.
after around an hour i finally found the last two elusive bumper fixing bolts behind plastic bungs in the wheel arch and hey presto!
one front cross member in perfect alignment to lower grill slots just asking for a couple of 300mm x 100mm x 6mm steel plates fixed with 3 nuts and bolts at each bracket. i,ll need to move the exterior temp sensor but thats no job.
it will take less time to fit than the bumper took to remove.
just got to sort out the brake cable alignment the all ready to fit it then start on the motorhome towbar.
a lot of cutting steel plates but i can do it for around £60 including getting it professionally welded(my welding aint THAT good) as opposed to £350 to buy one.
as they dont come under eurolaws/type approval yet for motorhomes i cant see any reason for not making my own.
