Help please with Overriders

[neasha]

Hey all

I got my corner bars fitted to my bumper yesterday. I think it looks well but they are not straight and its bugging me a bit.
They were installed by drilling a hole in a stainless steel bumper (Not a MK1 bumper) and I'm worried the hole was drilled too low in the bumper and thats why the corner bars sit crooked?! (Picture of drilled hole below)

My question is...Is there anyway to fix this lob sided appearence without drilling a new hole?









(back bars look ok but like the front bars the sit a little low and at a angle)


Any replys appreciated.

You could drill the hole bigger and use a bigger washer at the back which will give you space to adjust the ride over until it's prefect.

There is a shaped spacer that goes between the overrider bolt and underside of bumber that makes the overider sit at the right angle. Is it fitted correctly? If you remove the corner bars do the overiders fit right?

Yeah the over riders sat fine when the corner bars were not fitted.

I think I will have to drill a bigger hole. I think the hole drilled for the corner bars was drilled to low down as you can see in the image below.


The holes on that bumper are much higher on the bumper.

The over-riders look to be at the wrong angle, have you tried turning the inner plate around the opposite way to change the angle it clamps at ?

Yeah the over-rider should really sit more upright than it is at the moment.I would not drill anymore holes until the over-rider is straightened.

I will take the over riders off and see if I can straighten the angle of the clamps
