As some may know I fitted a bull-bar to my Surf last weekend…..
Anyhow the pad on the bull-bar was a bit weathered with a few cracks and splits in the ends. As this is a Japanese domestic market bar you can’t buy a replacement pads here in the UK.
Yesterday I took off the pad (it is in two parts) and filled the cavities with black silicone gutter sealant (89p). I then used some black tyre paint (£4.25) from a local motor accessory shop and gave the pad a coat taking care not to get any on the white “Hilux” lettering. Left it to dry and then refitted it this morning.
I’m happy with the result and it looks a whole lot better than it did before.
Just need to sort the lamps out now… yes I know one looks wonky, that is because it needs re-tightening.
