This is a pic off the net of one fitted although they've missed out the front hanger for some reason here.

Cheers Tim,
i have an sxc comp,but the exhaust brackets to the bike hangers dont match up,as the exhaust brackets are about 1 inch to far forward,
which looking at the picture it appears they have drilled a new hole to make it fit,i have been looking for the one you said to get in Mikeyboys posting..

The front bracket should have a small alloy mounting doggy bone

Nice one, you can see on mine I've used two pick up points on the frame to spread the load and it helps prevent the holes through the subframe elongating through wear.

I see yours is an Ackra ?,with a movable bracket,if i done the same as yours i would have to drill the flitch plate..
I did copy your fitch plate mod on the tool side though...

Yes although there was an sxc pipe fitted when I bought it, I drilled the extra hole and mounted the Akra this way after noticing wear to the original hole.

The subframe reinforcement is more extensive than you can see here and I mounted another tool box to it as it's much stronger than the flimsy OEM mount.
