Fitted Rear Bar
This is a BIG THANK YOU to Allan (Allans Vehicle Services, Plymouth Area) for fitting my rear bar for me on Saturday morning, that man can do anything. He has even stopped all my beeping as it was driving me crazy, what did we do before beepers I think it was called Remember to take the keys out, Remember to switch off the lights & as you wont know you had the door open with the draft is causes. Thanks again Al. Now I just need "end caps" for it. I believe 'Kirsty' was down to see Al wee while ago and got some for her rear bar, so if you see this Kirsty, could you please ask from me where you got them, Al thought it was B&Q but couldnt remember what or where in the store,

Re: Fitted Rear Bar
The end caps that Alan is talking about are on my B&Q aerial pole side bars, they are the chrome plug jobbies that you use to cove the spare tap hole when you fit a sink (idea copied from Daveblueozzie if I remember right - couldn't find the thread though), not sure if they'll be the right size for the rear bar. They just need a bit of trimming on the fitting & I siliconed them in place. Haven't got any photo's, but there is a thread somewhere courtesy of Daveblueozzie & Bigdaddycain I think.Ian+R wrote:This is a BIG THANK YOU to Allan (Allans Vehicle Services, Plymouth Area) for fitting my rear bar for me on Saturday morning, that man can do anything.

You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

They look the business Kirsty.They just need a bit of trimming on the fitting & I siliconed them in place.
Remember the bongo with the oil filled radiator? That's up and running, all going well again.
Thanks Ian.This is a BIG THANK YOU to Allan (Allans Vehicle Services, Plymouth Area) for fitting my rear bar for me on Saturday morning, that man can do anything.
I've put up photos of your bar , with the basic fitting instructions.
It's on the 'bongo spec' page of my website, if you want to see it.

Re: Fitted Rear Bar

Re: Fitted Rear Bar
Cheers Guys & Girls will get up to B&Q asap, Thanks for all your help
Re: Fitted Rear Bar
Did you see the big front lights on ours? Pretty unmissable aren't they. Al came home last night with a new chrome rear bar (like yours) and some side steps from a scrapper he just got in. Fitting them will keep him busy.

Re: Fitted Rear Bar
I loved the spots(blinded & it was daylight at the time) & the 'A' frame, could he find 2 sets of side bars that would have been lovely, I'm sure he goes to the great Bongo Graveyard in the sky, as long as you can drive there. Well Done, keep ScoBo II in mind next time=D> Did the people turn with the ramp after being let down?
Re: Fitted Rear Bar
Yes the ramps here. He's very happy, it's taken AGES to find one to fit the space. It's being fitted tomorrow, that'll save his knees a bit.

Re: Fitted Rear Bar
I really don't know how Allan finds the time to do all these jobs, I could have saved him some time as I thought I was in with a chance of getting those side steps off that scrappie Allan bought on Monday. I had just pop in to say Hi and that i'm back on the road again. My heart sank when I looked over and saw that Allans Bongo didn't have any. So i'm still looking for a set. Will I ever get them.
The workshop is getting there, and once the ramps are up it's Allan won't know himself.

Good to hear your up & running again, Janner Vanner
Re: Fitted Rear Bar
It's good to know you are up and about again Ed.
I didn't want them but Al seems kinda attached to them, I'm sorry! I'll search the 'bongo graveyard in the sky' for side steps and rear ladders.My heart sank when I looked over and saw that Allans Bongo didn't have any.
