I can highly recommend them. I've had a set fitted to mine for over four years and recently had the brackets ground off, new ones made and rewelded in a different place so I can fit it with a Safari swing away wheel carrier. The old welds were ground down, polished up and the bumperette came up like new. You get what you pay for and I bought the Bearmach ones from the link below. There are significantly cheaper ones available but as ever the choice is yours.....

Hi why don't you have your own made ? Pop down your local welder , give him a cardboard template of your brackets cut out to your own shape using the correct chassis holes . Have them cut to your own dimensions and welded onto 4 inch diameter 6mm pipe cut to your own correct length . Galvanise and finish with black hammerite with a nice piece of checker plate on top . Never mind the cheep nasty company efforts rusting and so called heavy duty that don't fit the chassis holes correct . |

Cant see the point of making or buying new if I can do a tiny bit of "green" good! Lardy. Give me a break I'm new to this! |

I haven't seen many Landies with the tubular variety fitted, I also think that they are more or less a 'fit and forget' item especially on the Puma as unless you use rivnuts they can be a complete b45t4rd to fit.
Hope you get what you seek but rare as hen's teeth born by the fact there has only ever been one square one featured in the For Sale & Wanted topic. Good luck with your quest...... If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

It certainly does! We can add it to the list of a 'spectacle maker and horse dentist!' It just advocates the adage "If you don't ask, you don't get!"
