No pics, but I can tell you Towequipe bar fits the three holes that the nudge bar bolts into. The tie-bar bit bolts through an unthreaded hole on the inner side of the chassis member about 12 inches from the back of the vehicle, quite high up the side of the chassis member.

Hope that helps.

cheer's for the replies,
dave is the right hand side fitment the same,
looking at the photo's you have taken,they are the left as you look from the rear of the vehicle?
does the main bar (the one that has the ball hitch)not actually bolt onto the chassis anywhere ?
the bars i want to use ,should be bolted onto the chassis and has plates to be fitted on the inside.possibly up under the bumper.
have to have a better look Sunday if it's not too hot(rather be sunning and supping) Wink

Yes the right hand side is the same, but the offset bar that goes up to the chassis is shorter on the right to allow for the exhaust.
Yes, both pictures are of the left hand side , and one of them could do with turning on its side. Laughing Laughing
The main bar bolts onto some wide angle brackets, these are bolted through the drop eyes. The top bolt has a square plate backing on it.
The lower bolts pick up smaller angle brackets. These pick up the offset bars that do bolt to the chassis.
I'll see if i can find pad's post showing the various components of this type of bar.

Cheers Dave

thank's for your help guy's,i'll print the picture's if that's o.k.
i can then study them while i'm underneath,trying to figure out if i can mod the bars i have.but i'm almost sure mine will only bolt on up close to the bumper. Rolling Eyes
hopefully i can check it out later tomorrow. cheer's
