I have bought a Terrafirma detachable tow hitch/tank guard for my D1 and my garage man ended up most confused. It IS deffo the right one, but it needs drilling through for attaching to the forward towbar stay attachment points, and Terrafirma themselves advised that the chassis be drilled and sleeved for the foremost bolts to pass through ahead and above the tank
Impressed not am I.
From a search of the threads, 'turbominij' has fitted one of these recently - perhaps others have. I'd welcome comments on this, but for nearly £400 I would not expect a customer to need to do anything except bolt the thing on.
Actually, given the <cough>precision engineering<cough> that is a Landy chassis, I can appreciate the reasoning behind letting the customer drill his own holes in the right place - but the lack of any part number on it (it's a TF924, that for the 110 is a TF923), plus the lack of any guide notes at all shows a lack of thought IMHO.
Oh, and Terrafirma refuse to talk directly to an end user, so I've had to spend a lot of time on the phone to Tim Fry, who supplied it, acted as a go-between, and who have been stars.
