Scorpion Winch Bumper fitting
« on: October 23, 2005, 08:56:41 »
OK, I haven't actually looked at it in detail yet ...

I don't have any fitting instructions, so can anyone give me details on how to fit the bumper? The chap said something about "plates to stop the bumper turning" when winching.

I have the plates, by the looks of it, I just need to know where/how they go!!

Why did you take all the grille/lights/etc off? Do you need to?

You'll need to chop the grill slightly and possibly move bits around.

Thanks for the offer of instructions Colin, but ... it's on :D

Apart from ...

I already had a DiscoParts steering guard on. I had to 80% remove it to get the bumper on and wiggle it about a lot to get it back on again. The only problem is, I can't fit the rear clamps on :roll:

If you look at this picture you can see that the side panel of the steering guard is very close to the chassis rail. The problem is, one of these needs to fit between, as can be seen in Jake's picture.

So, I either need to modify the Scorpion brackets, or the DiscoParts side panel - both of which are a bit beyond my trusty hacksaw. Any suggestions or offers of help? [-o<

is it the steering guard thats too close to the chassis? maybe you could drill a hole where the plate needs to be then hacksaw down either side so you have a "U" shaped cutout to allow the bracket to be fitted

The bracket will slide into the gap (just, I think) but there's no room for the head of the bolt ... and no way to get it in there either :roll:

Now, you see, I was hoping to avoid the whole "hacksaw" thing 'cos it's just too blooming hard :wink:  Surely somebody must have an electric powered, hand held thick panel cutting thing ... surely :?  :wink:

Looks nice Gordon.
Now off to Scorpions to get a couple of swivel eyes  :wink:
I'll have to look at my steering guard, maybe it needs some rearranging too?

I get what you mean - I think! I'm not sure how well that would work for mine as there is a bit of a gap between the chassis and the steering guard side panel.

By the way, do you know the Scorpion chap very well? I need a couple of swivel eyes :wink:  :)
