SIMBAR Fitting Discovery II
Lessons learned fitting SIMBAR wrap around brush bar item #9403D2 to my 2002 Discovery II.
Steps from the fitting instruction with additional information from Atlantic British and my experience provided below.
1. ADD: From below vehicle remove plastic splash panel to facilitate access. From below vehicle, remove the four nuts and washers from chassis leg horizontal bolts. ADD: If rusty and by now they are use penetrating oil to facilitate removal.
2. Fit separate brush bar mount plates with lugs facing outwards, re-fit washers and nuts. ADD: Loose fit only as bumper may move out of position. Both bumper and brush bar will require final adjustment.
3. ADD: With an assistant Offer bar to outside of mounts and fit bolts supplied. ADD: Loose mount brush bar on mounting brackets. ADD: Have assistant align bumper while someone else tightens four nuts and washers on chassis leg horisontal bolts.
4. Align bar and tighten mounts.
I recommend installing stabilizer struts shipped with brush bar to add stability regardless if driving lamps will be installed.
Install plastic splash panel.
I am installing driving lamps and will follow instructions found on www.discovery2.co.uk in an effort to maintain OEM appearance.
No pictures until done.
