That's the tow bar mounting.

You will need to remove the tow bar brackets to fit the weld on ARB brackets as they sit in roughly the same position. Thumbs Up

I can send you a file with info how North offroad connects their cage to the chassis. Send me a pm with your email adress.

Just a thought, if you do any green laning or off roading, I'd be inclined to leave the anti-roll bars off.

I took them off my TD5 HT and the ride was so much better and the articulation is great. It made little to no difference to the on road behaviour but miles better once you leave the tarmac.

Just my 2c Thumbs Up

cheers

Didn't want to start a new thread as this is really 'tenuously' related....

I'm having a bit of a runaround trying to source new rear ARB bushes for my std 90 XS.

The rear ARB on my truck is 19mm diameter.

I've ordered rear ARB bushes from two suppliers and they've both sent me front bushes. Well let me accurately present the facts. I actually ordered rear ARB bushes but those sent were for a 25mm ish ARB and they have a larger overall dimension. I checked them against the front and guess what - a perfect fit. As its a quick job I've now fitted them (to the front!) so no real lives lost - although I've got a spare set.

I'm just perplexed. For both suppliers to send me the same thing (25mm) I'm wondering if I have a non standard rear ARB???

Any pointers/guidance.

Please don't ask why I ordered two sets - it's a long story! I just want the right bushes........

Cheers,

Will
