Hmmm how about £60 posted?

In Cumbria so might be a bit far from you?

Sorry - too much for me. I can get 5 metres posted for £50 from here. Besides that, I only really need about 2 metres.

You could have done the same to your own Disco in that amount of time!!

Thanks for the compliment.

Having trouble actually removing my bull bar?

I followed this thread and assumed that if I removed my license plate I could get to the bolts but as you see in the picture there isn't anything there on mine??

Any ideas on how to remove? I'd like to remove the bull bar and trim my bumper.

Mines a slightly better make rather than a random ebay one but if you can get 5m for £50 then I'll match it if you want it

Very noble of you - thanks. PM me a Paypal email or preferred method of payment and I'll sort it out.

This is where I left off.

Chooped the end of and soldered a new ring on. Attached to new junction box which is fed from the engine bay fuse box via new wiring.

New junction box in stages.

Then added a mezanine level in chequer plate for a new aux fuse box to feed my heated screen and heatshot.

And the junction box sits underneath.

And finished - bloody wet today!!

Mmmmmm, lovely

cracking job sir!
only criticism.. which is a small one, is that it would be wise to put grommets in where the wires pass through metal holes.

auf_wiedersehen_pet · Jan 5, 2014

auf_wiedersehen_pet said:

You'll notice the holes are bigger than the wire. The hole is 16mm and the wire is 9.5mm - just right for these grommets.

I checked the sizes, ordered them and drilled the plate before I painted it.

Thanks for spotting it, I always welcome comments.

Ah. I see, perfection indeed!

just finished reading from the start congrats on what is an awesome machine, most of the mods are well beyond my ability (electrics retard) but plenty of inspiration from this and other threads, half way through noiseys too. looking forward to the rest of the build.

Thank you. The electrics are a doddle - it just goes round in circles. I kept everything seperate from the standard wiring apart from picking up a couple of feeds for relays.
