You need the round bar type tow bar to use with the bumper step. It has two fixing positions, one with bumper step and one without. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271874833706&seller=&toolid=10018&85116540" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271874833706 Like this one on eBay

Off my lime

Yes got the round type one but wasn't sure if it will fit with the step, now that you have mentioned the two different positions to mount it.

Doesn't matter if it's a round or square, depends on towbar manufacturer...

The one I have here is a witter towbar for Transits with standard bumper only.

When to fit front towing eye...





Unfortunately, no bolts for it

Also need to get mounting bracket for wiper assembly



& Bonnet lock. One that came with slam panel as been drilled

[paul2012]

Nice sunny day today. Time for some painting.....







Started to apply 1st coat of clear coat to side loading door. Then had to stop - my compressor has just stopped



Didn't finish side loading door. Instead of wasting a full pot of clear coat. Painted up wings & front slam panel using my spare smaller compressor.



A couple of runs in clear coat on wings. To be expected when using a small compressor that is not man enough for the job at hand. Runs are easily sorted by wet flat then buffed.

Had a look at my big compressor to find this....



Dam motor has burnt out Oh well time to get a new single phase 3hp motor

Project looking brilliant, shame about the compressor. Hope the weather stays the same.
