Hi all,

I have got hold of a second hand genuine tow-bar for my disco2 (P/N STC 50289) the only problem is it didn't come with any bolts :( I was wondering if someone could help by telling me what bolts are required to fit it to the car.

Thanks in advance
 
No further action required! Thanks anyway. My friendly local main dealer helped me out. So if anyone else needs the info just give me a shout.

Or just post the info here for next time someone does a search??? :rolleyes:
 
Good idea :)

Bolts & torque settings for STC 50289AB taken from Land Rover fitting instructions

Center mounting bracket M14 x 85 (x2) 140NM
Side mounting arms chassis end M16 x 125 (x2) 240NM
Side mounting arms doubler piece M16 x 40 (x2) 240NM
Drop plate to Center mount & side mounts M16 x 50 (x4) 240NM

8 M16 bolts and washers required, M14 bolts not required as they have captive bolts on the chassis behind the rear bumber.

Hope this helps anyone with a similar problem.
 
Revive a thread time!

@jamesmartin what size bolts do I need for a D1 tow hitch. In particular hitch to chassis?
M10 seem a bit loose, but M12 are too tight. You have part numbers rattling around in yo head. You must know......

Not sure if I need to open out chassis tubes or not.

It's good I didn't pm then, int it, otherwise you wouldn't have seen the post. M10 it is then. What a gentleman you are, even if you are a rude one. About time you came back to Kent and calmed down a bit.

By the way, that is not my tow bar system. I have the thinner r/a system. Or at least I do now.
