If you have the MK1 rear bumper, then these are the best recovery points to have. :P :P :P :P :P

I re-drilled the original brackets to sandwich the chassis with the new recovery points, also getting the bolt into the bottom hole on the chassis required someone skinny to reach into the chassis rail, so I welded a piece of bar to the bolt so I could get the bolt in place and to enable me to tighten it all up.

These are not on the ORA website, But contact ORA if you want some ;)

And my Jimnybits snorkel



I was very pleased this fitted within my rollcage! Thanks Russ ;)

Edit: Thank god I've a roll cage, my jimny is on its side! :lol: :lol:


Do you have any side on photos of your Snorkel??? I've been thinking about one for a while but I have a cage with a removable screen bar and wondered if I could get one to fit, even if not quite in the right place using a bit of ingenuity and jiggery pokery!

My cage follows the same angle as the screen, so I'm wondering if it could be shoved forward a few inches and maybe some flexi hose could go to the airbox from it.

Will get some photos in daylight, I do have a new DIY/universal snorkel from fatfrog 4x4 that I was going to use with a filtered top going very cheap ;-) Just used a little bit of one of the supplied hoses.
I popped into see Russ at Jimnybits and accidently came out with a fitted Snorkel hoping it would fit and it did.

Today I removed the n/s/r wheel an hub to see what the fluid on the rear disc plate was as the mot tester said I should check it out as it may be brake fluid to find its oil coming out of where the shaft goes into the axle...that a wheel Bearing problem or just a seal?

supergaz wrote: Nothing today, fitted yesterday ORA mk 1 rear bumper with special order rear recovery points BIG thanks to Rob Butler for making them. Fitted Jimnybits panhard rods and suprised at the quality and weight of them also fitted a short jimnybits snorkel fitted well within my roll cage.
Still to fit my jimnybits battery tray, front wheel bearings and my M16a and a good hammerite and waxoyl. Also got a British suntan. So not much lately.


I wish I had known about these well designed items before I went to the trouble of making my own :( .

Which was a considerable hassle I might add. Rob you really must get round to putting these things on your website :angry:

I just asked Rob for what I wanted and he made them, and I am very pleased with the product, I hope this is something he will add to the website. He may consider mine as a prototype.
