Fixed Towbar - "Chassis Bolt Tubes"
I removed the towbar to get blasted and painted and when removing it I forgot about the tubes that reinforce the chassis. One is wedged in next to the hole but the other side is gone

Sorry, no. The tubes that prevent the chassis from crushing when the towbar bolts are tightened.

very easily replced by cutting some conduit (galv is best) to the internal measurements of the rails and sliding back into place through the keyhole slot.

Its the thought of the tubes rattling about in the chassis forever more - it has enough of these noises already
