Morning all

Won myself an A Frame on Eblag last night and beat the next highest bidder by 83p

Problem is I'm not sure its a genuine one from LR
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-rove...2B7hy8jRct3pEh0PIQltY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

I've checked the fitting guide on JLR but it doesn't seem to match https://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/topix/content/document/view?id=65319&parameters=highlight=a bar

Can anyone confirm if there's anything extra I'll need to fit it apart from some toughened bolts?

Thanks

Phil

It may have came from a D2 as the seller stated but its not a Land Rover product. Time to search the Discovery/4x4 accessory suppliers to see if you can match it up, and the best of luck with that.
It looks as if the fitting is easy from the photos (photo 2), just two bolts on each side with the bar brackets on the inside of the chassis rails, once u have removed all the stuff u have below the bumper line to get access.

Nope, not LR equipment. Easiest way to fit is to offer it up and try it, see what size bolts it needs, if the holes line up, does anything need drilling? Did you not think to ask the seller if it needed any other brackets or fittings?

Got to be honest I hadn't even thought about asking, was a last minute decision late last night so probably wasn't the best of choices


I've emailed the seller to find out.

Well turns out unless I can fabricate a bracket of some variety so the bolts holes actually reach something to close the foot wide gap there's not much chance this is any use
