should be able to use the shorter two new bolts in the pack?


I had to use the shorter bolts to fix the plate at the front tube, because the longer pair of bolts was too long to fit into the tube. That left the longer bolts for replacing the LR bolts at the rear of the plate.

Nash: are you saying that you can't even re-fit the original bolt anymore (without the Mantec plate)? Or do I misread your post Embarassed

yes (I think?)


Yes, with some patience you can maneuver the nut onto the bolt. I used a small spanner to hold the nut when I tightened the bolt. You must use a socket wrench on the front bolts because the heads sink into the plate.

Nash, did you mean hold the nut inside the black square tube or on top of the black square tube?
I think the nut is supposed to be on top of the black square tube, and you feed the bolt up through the Mantec plate from underneath and through the black square tube...

Fitted mine this afternoon in preparation for next weeks Boughrood trip Smile Thumbs Up
15 minutes including finding my 13mm spanner......

Had the same problem as Beaker, (bolt hitting the other side of the tube) but I've just not tightened them up all the way. Seems to be very solid all road. Will check the bolts before I use them next week again though.

Cheers JMC

Radio also on charge in preparation....... Smile Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

I thought about whether to sell it or keep it, but I think I'll keep it in case I need to take the Plate off at some point. Sorry Wiggs.

Of course translated, that just means that when I have to take the plate off in a couple of years time, I'll just hunt around for teh plastic one & then end up buying a new one coz I'll have 'put it in a safe place'....... Thud

Can't say I'm too surprised Shocked Mantec had nothing to do with the 'Group Price' and the discount was only secured by purchasing a significant quantity of plates. That was the whole point of the group-buy. The price everybody paid this time round was actually less than the (current) trade cost price of the plate.

In fairness, I can't let you say that Mantec are being 'funny bugg3rs' as they are doing the same as any other retailer would do when offered less than cost for their product......... Rolling Eyes

Why not try your local LR dealer and offer them £34k for a D3HSE just because you are 10 mins away and they have got one on the forecourt Laughing
