Help fitting a snowplough

[DAFTJOHN]

Howdy, i'm in Glasgow and not sure if what I have will allow the snowplough to be fitted - ie no brackets.

Anyone near by fitted one before or even not so near by cause I can drive lol

Just don't want to mess it up....

I fitted mine without the brackets because I couldn't work out how they went, just put a couple of self-tappers through, touring car styleee lol

Theres lots of little covers along the top of the snowplough which you remove and screw the brackets to the metal bumper. If you havent got any brackets and want to do a proper job of it you could easily make up some brackets out of sheet metal. I'll dig out the old pics ive got of my brackets.

Ah cheers, so you don't screw the bracket to the front panel but to the top part of the bumper and then screw the bottom of the snowplough to the bottom of the valance....

iirc there are two brackets, one of each fits to the bottom of the front wings on either side.

Hey Linz, how does the bumper sit without the proper bracket? What lenght of self tappers did you use?

The easiest way to fit it is what I did and get some nuts and bolts along the bottom of the plough and attach it to the lower part of the front panel and maybe make a bracket eith side to attach to the wings. Job done.

It sat fine :)

The brackets are sitting around somewhere if you want the measurements :thumb:

[DAFTJOHN]

If you could that would be spot on

Cheers
