Nudge bar mounts?

[mat85]

I've found a nudge bar on gumtree for a fair price, however it doesn't come with the mounting brackets and my local dealer is useless and i've had no luck with local wreckers. Are there any templates available or is my best option just to borrow my mates GLXR brackets and copy them? I assume MN GLXR will fit MN GLX+?

Cheers

Its a problem mat85.

I made some enquiries a few years ago and at that time the brackets were't available as a seperate part.

A wrecker or copy a mates might be the best bet. They seem to be designed with airbag compatibility in mind.

I got some a while back for my brother from Tritonwreckers

Where are you? I've bent my nudge bar and dint think I'll bother with a new one. If you're local to sunny coast or brisbane I'll offload mine to you

I'm in Perth, would postage be a hassle or even worth it?

I've called every wrecker in Perth. No ones got any. One place is wrecking a glxr with a badly dented bar but still couldn't help. The dealer could supply a whole unit for $600

If worse comes to worse i can just pinch my mates and get a copy fab'd up.

Hi guys, sorry to tag onto this thread. I've picked up a ML nudge bar for my MN, have brackets and seems to fit, though a bit close to the bumper. Wondering if anyone has pics posted of fitting the nudge bar? I've searched the forum but had no success. Also wondering if anyone can confirm the bolt size for the threaded chassis mount part of it? Pretty close to M10, but it's not!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Peter

This is copied from elsewhere on the forum:

Nudge bar bolts
4x30mm M10 High Tensile (8.8) Bolts to fix bracket to chassis + 4x Spring washers + 2x nuts 4x35mm M10 High Tensile (8.8) Bolts to fix bar to bracket + 4x Spring washers and 4x washers and nuts. This was on MY15 GLX-R

If your M10s aren't fitting maybe it's just a question of thread pitch. I'm not sure which is standard but you might have 1.0 and it might take 1.5 for example. Just take the one that doesn't fit to bunnings, work it out with their thread board thing and then buy the other pitch and try that.

These instructions are not for the genuine bar but should help anyway since they probably use much the same holes etc

I got caught with the threads. The bolts to mount the bar to the brackets seem to be different thread to the ones that go in the chassis.

Finally found a wrecker selling a pair this arvo. Only issue is that one is slightly bent at the nudge bar end. Hopefully with a bit of heat it'll bend back into place.

Just using this thread to see if anyone has information on fitting bolts required for a MCC nudge bar on a MN triton I have got the bar and the mounting bracket is attached just looks like it needs bolts and I have found the threads on the chasis but unsure of size

There's a wrecker down here in Bunbury with a triton that just has the mounts poking out the front. Gimme a shout if you want them and we can work something out, from what I remember, one bracket was slightly bent but nothing a hammer couldn't remedy. Got the funniest feeling that it may be the same one that you're looking at
