Installing Pushbar on my 84 Brat

[BattleAxeT6]

Hey, is there step by step instructions posted anywhere, on installing a pushbar? I cant figure it out, I sanded, painted, and got it all ready, I just have to install it now. Instructions with pictures would be helpful, I know once I see it I'll feel like an ********************* for not figuring it out, but I just cant see it right now, THanks a lot.

If its the long one, I think it goes onto the engine crossmember. Try lying under the front end and lining up the tabs on the crossmember with the pushbar and see if its close.

Yeah, it depends on which one you have. There's a pushbar that mounts to your front tow hooks, and theres another pushbar that is longer and mounts to the engine crossmember.

 

The longer style pushbar is not a direct bolt on if your subaru has plastic bumpers. I Had a write up with step by step instructions but its long gone by now.

Thanks, Yeah its the smaller one, looks like it mounts on the bar underneath the bumper?Its the bar that raps forward on the front, and it came with a seperate bar, but it looks the same as the one already on the car. Im a little stumped

these bolt to the tow hooks and then there are 2 straight hangers that take the weight of the push bar. you should see 2 bolt holes, one on each side of the bar. most people run the hanger from there to the bumper bracket.
