Thks again
Ps, Disco goes in on the 15 th to have mot, brake hoses, inc brake fluid change , AC recharge and a few other bits so it’s d

Also found another pic of them , can see now why there angled because of the slope of the impact bar
Ryan Wild also does some fabrication stuff ... he makes e.g. headlamp anti-theft brackets. don't know if he makes anything this hefty though.
think his username is RWild1 or similar.

Hi
I have a shop with turning, milling & a bit of surface grinding + mig, tig & gas welding.
If you get stuck let me know.
Will need more details - I didnt see the thickness & also thread inside the nuts ( did I miss them?)
I am semi retired so turn round of job would be quick. Price will be good.

Hi mike
Thks so much for getting in touch and the awesome offer
Funny enough a forum member has been in touch ref making the brackets , always the way
Bless u once again but looks I’m set thank u so much
As a side note and out of interest , have a front impact bar so will have to sit down and try and work out the exact angle of the welded nuts
@Andy from here kindly gave me the dimensions etc, alas I’m laid up yet again at the moment with my back but as soon as I can will sit down and try and work it out
This is what was kindly sent over to me, so hopefully will help others in the future
Thks so much once again

Sounds like you are sorted - at least with your car. Backs can be another story - good luck & quick recovery.
You know where I am - offer still stands.
