PieEater3142 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Can anyone tell me the dimensions, thickness and hole spacings for the L bracket of a dixon bate towbar? Alternatively is there an easy part number for this? Turns out I'm missing one. I think it looks like the one to the rightin this photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 just measured mine diemensions are approximates 50 x 50 x 4 mm 90 degree equal angle 435mm overall length outer bolt centres approx 15mm from end centre bolt centre 96mm from outer bolt centres bolt holes can be picked up from the rear cross member lower face. 2 holes for big bolts to attach ladder part can be drilled when ladder part is bolted to rear cross member using the upper pair of bolt holes, lower pair of bolts go through the angle. hth.

HoSS Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I have one spare somewhere, it wouldn't fit my replacement rear member. BUT you would have to wait a few weeks for it as i'm not back in the country for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieEater3142 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 thanks chaps, HoSS i'm in no hurry, if you have one kicking around let me know what postage is and what you want for it Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Ok, to ressurect this thread some what: Could some kind soul do the same as before, I.e. measure the size of the angle on the Dixon-bate arrangement? This time it's the two stays on the left of pie-eater's photo? I don't need any hole pitch dimensions, just the size of the angle profile itself. Reason I ask is appear to have two sets of stays, both of different profiles, neither or which quite seem to fit. I just need to know which of the two sets I need to 'persuade' to fit with the brummie screwdriver before cleaning up+painting the whole arrangement. Many thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Be carefull as there are different types me thinks, as I ordered one, when i got it the bolts on the underside of the member didn;t line up with the pre drilled holes on the bracket... so i've been using it without. I couldn't see it adding that much more strength to be honest (i did think about it). the important bits are tarqueing the main tie bolts up properly and a pgood thick back plate to the crossmember or you'll end up pull the bolts through it. (like mine neary had after a recovery eye had previously been fitted to it incorectly) Mav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Mav, I meant the tie bars that attach at the chassis rail and at the bottom of the 'ladder' Not the bit of angle that connects the ladder to the x-member, I've got that! I just appear to have 4 of the former, when I should have 2, none of which quite seem to fit. If some kind soul could apply a tape measure to their cross braces and tell me the size of the angle iron, I'd be most grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 the bracing bars on mine are 40 x 40 x 3mm 90 degree angle steel. hth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
