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 Banging Head

What's the chances of retrieving it?

Are you saying you've lost one of the chassis mounts?

You can buy them

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.

Dropped one of mine when I was installing my TowTrust towbar.
Got new ones from Towtrust (about £12 I think !) and never heard the lost one rattling Thumbs Up

Tried everything to get it out but no luck !

You can get a full fitting kit, bolts tubes etc from LR. I think I paid about £30ish roughly a year ago
