    Thanks for your advice. I also installed the Bullbar. Now I'm going to install - like you - lamps and connect them electrically.

    I considered fitting a bull bar to protect the vehicle travelling through low brush, but how do you stand with insurance or third party claims if you hit a pedestrian? New vehicles are tested for pedestrian safety, is the vehicle still compliant with an after market bull bar?

    The insurance I have is called camper van in conversion and that covers all things like wheels, windows, roof rack lights etc. I told them bull bars with lights. After I’ve converted it I’ll get a agreed value insurance so they will want photos, so hopefully that will all be agreed and covered.

    Hi mate just got the bar but no instructions - video helped. Got a Q though, the 4 longer bolts, which part did you use them on ? Thanks

    I think the four longest bolts used to bolt the two brackets together.
