Looks like it's fastened on using the chassis bolts (without any drilling)????

i always view stupid laws like that as guidelines
if i`m gonna hit someone i want them to know about it, not bounce off  . plus i think the steel ones look better.
it bolts straight on with original bolts or they can supply stainless ones, which i got. LIFE`S TOO SHORT TO DRIVE A BORING VEHICLE |

Rubber ones are a PITA to mount anything to as well and doesn't look as purposeful. It's a stupid law trying to ban A bar's yet winch bumpers are fine.

Have got no problem with the fitting of one just thought they were illegal after a certain year of vehicle manufacture.
I remember some do gooder type being interviewed on the telly when they were trying to ban bull bars saying that some of these bull bars were at the same height as a childs head,well i,ve got three kids and their heads are all at different heights ! 2005 Td5 90 XS Steve |

as far as i understand the rules is that if you have a steel a bar that is made before 2005 `you` can fit it to a new vehicle, but you cant buy a new bar and fit it, dont know for sure if its right but i did read it somewhere !!!!!!!! LIFE`S TOO SHORT TO DRIVE A BORING VEHICLE

Have seen tubular A bars advetised as "off road" A bars so there may be something about fitting a newly manufactured one. It was on there when i bought it officer

^^^What about 'moral obligation' mentioned in the thread below perhaps? http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic1957.html?highlight=bull+bars If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!! Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

Having seen the aftermath of a Defender hitting a 12-year-old child straight on I can say that a-bar or not is unlikely to make much difference. The kids go underneath... Yes they will make a difference, but it's very small. If you're concerned with the moral rights or wrongs of your car's pedestrian friendliness then a Defender is not the right car for you! |
