Front Guard Braces?

Post by fbtim »

Could anyone please post a picture or drawing of how the long skinny rod type braces fit? I took them off so long ago I've forgotten how to refit 'em.
Help would be great as the FB workshop book I have has no pics.

No pic, but from memory they bolt up on the furtherest in bumper bolt (on the subframe) and to then out to the bumper on the side of the gaurd.

Thankyou , hate putting things back together and having parts left over! Particularly after you go to the trouble of blasting and painting them!
This doesn't happen to me often , much.

Beats not having the parts at all. I've bought two EK's now.. neither had gaurd braces at all.
