Bearmach Sump/steering protector

[bambamjj]

Any body had problems fitting these Part no. BA083B

1 bracket is ok but the other wont go on at all.  Both have round hole one end and one has slot at other end to attache to botom of bumper/chassis but other bracket has slot set back from the end about 3" and a slight 'V' and does not line up with anything, tried both sides, and that particular bracket does not run true to the chassis, (for one moment i thought the Chassis was twisted but good bracket fitted fine both sides)

any ideas?

i got one of those

the brackets are handed and only go on 1 way.you may well have two of the same or a faulty one

i had no problems fitting mine

ill check mine tomorrow for you

Both the brackets look identical at first glance.

The bracket that does not fit, the TOP ring does not stand out so proud so it does not stand out enough to be able to be attached to the bar that goes from the chassis to the steering (The one you have to take the bolt out of) also the slot that is towards the front of the vehicle does not match up with anything to enable you to bolt it to the chassis.

If any of that makes sense????

thought they would be handed but a mirror image of each other?

that model number is for a bull bar fitted vehicle

Have jate rings and was led to believe it would fit around them, but it wont.  Just been outside and checked and there is no way that bracket is for a Disco, left side right side upside down back to front etc etc.

Thanks for the link

Have to rethink that one.
