smashin ..be off for a look round b&q for some bits:welcome2:

ffs - have yu :search:'d?

they are illegal unless OEM fit and you can prove it. dont bother.

Limb lifters - illegal? why?

cos they will slice a peep in two or decapitate them in an accident .

I had them fitted for a few years no probs but it wasn;t a hash up all the cables are heat shrunk after being welded together and all tentioners are from a marine store. but ive taken them off because the hard top is in the garden!

I agree that they are dangerous and I probably wont fit mine unless offroading comp drive day. Min e do pretty much unhook easily so only takes a minute to put them up.

Snap

i would have thought in a case of pedestrian versus defender they was going under not over

I was told by a copper that mine were illegal and had to have them removed then prove that they were removed! mind you they were the only thing holding my bumper on at the time due to rust!

The other thing to remember is that if they are not legal for road use, you can't use them on greenlanes either.
