mick miller Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Ooh, I hope you got a heavy duty one from MIB components like I did, as they are the dogs doo-dads. I had my replacement shot blasted and zinc coated before fitting it. Reckon it's got a good twenty years in it now. It's a pig of a job though!

mick miller Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Oh, wasn't aware they had gone bust. Sad if they have because the heavy gauge cross members were superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxon T Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I got a great heavy duty one from Black Sheep off road in essex. A chap called Clive. He even fitted it for a very reasonable sum which was well worth it to me as it took even him 6hrs to do mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy george Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Clive's your man if you need one. Over engineered for the job & last a life time. Mines about 7 years old now & just as good as the day it was put on, shame the rest of it needs working on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
