Tomas, are you talking about the wrap around tubular nudge bar you have on your car? If so you might be able to adapt it but I would have to look closer at how it is attached on the lower points of the bar to be sure.

It is the same as the Mantec version in that respect at the moment as it covers the lower mounting points the LR brush bar would connect to unless they have made changes from the last photos I saw. You would have to cut some holes in it, maybe just a couple bolt holes from looking at the nudge bar instructions if lucky.

Yep I'm kinda hoping it'll be pretty str8 fwd cuz I'd hate to have to modify it so much that it compromises its function. Fingers crossed but it looks fairly good though... All else fails I'll have to fab a similar design that accomodates.

Thnx,
Tomas

I have been running with the mantec plate for about a year and it has taken its lumps for sure. I will say that the aluminum once it gets bent is hard to get back to the desired shape. I actually took mine off last night to see if I can work it back into shape somehow ...

8mm 5083 you'll need 60 ton to bend it back!

Guys,

We have issues here at present with Snow. We've had 12" here and usually we grind to halt with 2" - its mayhem with no roads open / shops / etc etc. So no further forward than last week. Will press on for normality next week.
