[Wanted] Fixed tow bar chassis attachment bolts

Hi, bought a second hand fixed tow bar but it did not come with the attachment bolts. Does anyone have any spare ones please?

I plan to use the tow bar to tow a caravan and a maxxraxx bike carrier, do I need to use the fixed tow bar side bars or can I get away with it?

If you are using the fixed style towbar, you should really use the side braces. On both the vehicles I have done towbars on recently, the bolts were already in the chassis - I just had to undo them, put the braces in place and do them back up (they also hold on a sprung weight thing on my vehicle but there was nothing attached on the 2008 model), I think it depends on the year (Mine is a 2005, the other was a 2008) so before trying to get hold of them have a quick look....

The bolts are only there on pre 09 D3's, and not there on later D3's or D4's

You have two options

You can buy the bolt kit from LR - its does exist as a separate part
You can find a enginneers supplies place and buy some long bolts yourself, and also cut two short lengths of strong pipe (electrical conduit works) to slip inside the chassis rails to stop them being crushed when you tighten the bolts

Anyone still got a set of these at all? May need if Flea bay purchase goes ahead, or has the dimensions so I can get machined up.
Thanks
