well im feeling overwhelmed by such lofy positions.............
wiring, this is the tow socket
Image
sorry ,im old school and so soldered the ends prior to refixing.
terotex on these painted areas prior to fitting the covers back on, I have also dosed the plastic trim. as it also help it fit as well as hopefully protecting it all
Image
cover refitted, when your doing this , sort the 2 fixing screws and holes out prior to any body work etc as it will pay you back when it comes to reassembly
Image
fitted a new pillar aerial which suit the van
Image
only one upper support.just fitted it below the repaired area,looks period ,well to me anyhow and more stable than a single mount on the upper front panal , dont know if they work as well or better?
Image
A strange view ,no doubt mnatches my state of mind today, well i was laid down here sorting the bumper and just thought................
Image
No w for some praise where due..... JK :shock: got supplied with one of their rear bumpers and was getting ready to sort fitting it my way when i did a measurement , and..... the holes are in the correct place, well there are oval holes made :lol: so no filling if that was how it was done , im not saying what my plan was but anyhow cut a bit out fore the tow bar and fitted the end caps, the stuff theyre made from is a bit "pooh" plaggy but i had to cut off the lower peg mounting moulding as it got in the way , i fitted the plastic spacer on the bumper and clicked it together and bolted up . id say its 90% there, bumper seams to be a bit heavier gauge as well , paint finnish bland but hey... only otherrt thing i choose to do is to relaive a bit of ther end cap as it was going to rub on the bodywork but appart from that theyre ok for the money
