Groover's on the mend and he still manages a cameo! What a dog.
Bash plate looks good as well, as does the gravel and the benches.
Keep up the good work.

This is the crossmember mount...
I have bedded it in sikkaflex and the alloy surrounding it is secured the same way.
It is bolted to the bullbar at the front and the gearbox mount at the back.
The Spine strap is also sikka'd on.
I have snapped heaps of bolts in the past from shock, this time I am allowing a little bit of flex.
What the hell, busses are held together with it.
The weld lines hopefully will give it rigidity in the impact area..
But it is on...
Woo hoo.

Couldn't hurt Dylan, cooling is a big issue with subies.
They are reallly there to let the oil drip out.
