Fehling crash bars

[j3gq_imp]

Installed my Fehling crash bar today. It is easy enough, and no special tools needed. What the paltry instructions don't tell you (covering the left side only) is this: on the right, if you install the top and middle latch first, there is no way to insert screws and nuts, and tighten them up on the bottom latch. Between the latch, the exhaust, and a sensor installed nearby, there is no way to get it all in place. Need to take the crash bar off again, start a 2nd time with the bottom latch. With the bar free to move and rotate around the frame, and if your glove size is 6 or 7, you can manage to get the lower bracket in place. Decent instructions would have saved half an hour and some cuts.

If you ever do it yourself: remember to install one side completely before starting the other. This way the engine doesn't sag down, and it's easy to reinsert all screws.
