Bowie69 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yus, that's exactly what I did. You can get bumpers in both formats fairly easily... Though my Ex-Bish Southdown offering was the wrong offset. In addition, I had to drill a hole in the side of the winch mount (the bit that goes along the chassis leg), as with a Bow1 on it, the button cap head would make it too wide for the gap, this allowed it to drop in with less than 1mm clearance on the other side...

honitonhobbit Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Was that the Ex Bish Southdown that he bought off me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Erm, maybe Maybe not, seem to remember a conversation about the chap at Southdown (Dave?) building them on the vehicle due to chassis tolerances? But yes, it was the one off the Bishtail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honitonhobbit Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I believe it was once mine - and before that it belonged to Tangoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only drawback is it's length - you can't fit it between the chassis rails, it has to go on top. However it's not the be all and end all. If I had the pennies, I'd fit a Red Terrier I'd never heard of it, but that looks nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
