washers (5) passed through the outer legs

of the saddle bracket and into the

threaded bush in the chassis. Ensure that

this bolt does not ‘bottom out’ on the bolt

inserted from inside the cockpit.

NOTES

1. If you intend to fit a rear wheel

protection bar then the outer fixing bolt on

the driver’s side of the car will need to be

removed again to allow fitment of this part.

2.The rear wheel protection bar is not

IVA-compliant and should not be fitted

prior to the IVA test.

The rear legs of the cage are secured to

the mounting plates at the rear of the boot

compartment using bolts (1) and nuts (4)

passed through the plates and the holes

in the end of the legs. Plain washers (6)

must be fitted under both the head of the

bolt and the nut (these bolts may appear

to be undersize but they are intended to

be only a loose fit in the respective holes).

With all the fixings in place they can be

finally tightened in accordance with Table

32. See also note above.
