Sell it and buy a Mantec carrier ... or wait 18 months, then remove the single arm carrier, and fit a Mantec

from look of the plate, i would say yes you are correct it goes inside the cross member, two of them?
spacers fit between the crossmember plates i would guess - presume some long bolts came with it? just line up bolts andpush spacer up into space whilst trying to locate bolt into spacer, magnets can help and a good torch! and patience.

Thanks James, I had thought it would require a bit of patience ! just wasnt sure. Both plates are similar, same overall size, one has a a cut out square section on the bottom, the one in the photo does not.

One plate goes to the Outside of the Crossmember the other to the Inside, The Crush Cans go inside the Crossmember, lots of struggling to get them to fit, you may have to reduce them in length to get them to fit, the bolts go through the Crush Cans. If you shorten the Crush Cans repaint the ends and refit with lots of Grease followed by some Dinitrol or similar. NormanD WE191

Thanks All... I got some instructions from Ben at TMD, they also sent me the right sized Spacers I can confirm it was a SOD to FIT ! but it is now in place and looks good, the rear door actually closes without a gap !
