ide the vehicle.
2. Put the left-hand fixing arm B in place, and position it over the top side
of the bumper attachment and then over the exhaust pipe (see fig. 1 and
fig. 2). At points D, place two M10x90 bolts including spacers (ø15x12
L=52mm), back plates (40x5 L=40mm), spring washers and nuts.
Tighten these connectors hand-tight.

M10x90 bolts including spacers (ø15x12 L=52mm), back plates (40x5
