Hi,
I'll find out what the P&P is, give you my Paypal address, you send the money and and your postal
address and I send you the bolts, simples.
They are quite heavy obviously so P&P will be quite lumpy, I'll find out the charge later today.
Cheers, Dave.

I see from your profile that you have a D3 which should have the correct bolts already in place in the
chassis.
D4's generally don't come with the tow bar chassis bolts in place and have to be bought with the tow bar
kit.
They are a special bolt that is quite expensive to buy as these have the built in shoulder so you don't
crush the chassis when you tighten everything up.
The chassis is specially "cut" to easily fit these bolts on a D4 and very easy to do.
They can be removed from a D3 but involves removing the swinging weight brackets and it's not a
particularly easy job.
I found out that P&P would about a fiver to get them off to you.
PM me your email address and I'll send you a picture of the bolts as I can never seem to upload pictures
on this site unless in the meantime some kind member can do it for me

Thanks DSL, much better and I must be more careful when googling next time.
Final thought: As I have a tow step fitted, I realised that the towing assembly I have will interfere with my departure angle so I used a generous portion of copper slip when fitting to ensure I can have my towbar assembly off when I'm off-road. I'm hopeful I won't need to disturb the outside bolts but you never know...

It’s not a Google problem, it’s that the site defaults to lower res image. To get the higher res you just need to take out the “normal_” but from the image code. Simples.
