No, you have to keep the tie bars. ARB is optional. If it just fouls a lug on the box, grind it off.

Rear box mount is the Nova one, Space it sideways so it lines up.

you are a star!i said that to my mate who was helping me last nite but he said that was bit rough!lol1 cheers craig u hnt happen to have a picture of tht mount fitted
?

No sorry. If you were to have it bolted to the box as per normal you would find it wont line up with the mount on the floor. So most fitting kits supply a spacer pack with longer bolts & shims so it can be spaced to fit.

Are you using a fitting kit or making it up as you go?

all you need to make is some form off spacers or spaceing plate which is 1/2" /13mm thick and it will all fit
