Hi all. A question on behalf of a fellow FFR builder here in WA who is ahead of me with his build.

Right now he is trying to install the front bumper and over-riders, and notes that as designed it seems to have the over-riders sitting vertically, and not raked forwards. Is there a correct method to achieve this forward rake? Shimming seems an obvious answer except it means the mounting plate will not be square to the bolts? - Edit: I double checked this, it does seem the plates are at an angle - sorry, my mistake.

Also, for the bumpers, these bolt to the sides of the over-riders, but no holes are included. Are there any published dimensions for the correct locations of these holes in the over-riders?

Thanks

Are you sure you dont have the back overriders on the front? It sued to be that they were different front and rear. The fronts had the mounting plate welded at the appropriate angle
